On-going Opportunities For Young People at Holy Trinity Church

Church Choir

The parish church choir is recruiting for new singers from 8 years old. Rehearsals run at the church from 6pm to 7pm every Tuesday during term time, and at 9.15am for the 10am Sunday service. Members benefit from expert musical tuition in this renowned choir, which has broadcast on the BBC and sings in cathedrals and at concerts around Bristol. Adults are also welcome. For more information, please see our Choirs page.

We run Confirmation Classes every year, so please contact the parish office on 0117 950 8644 if you are interested in your pre-teen/teenager joining one. For more information, please see our Confirmation page.

Bellringing or becoming a Church Server

Youth Weekend Away

Our annual Youth Weekend Away for ages 8 to 12 runs on a weekend during the summer (usually June).

Where is it?

We leave Westbury-on-Trym early on Saturday morning for Barton Camp, which is in the Mendip Hills AONB. The camp is a purpose-built centre with modern dormitory accommodation and fantastic facilities.

What will we be doing?

We have a busy two days of activities, and make full use of the amazing facilities at Barton. We enjoy the outdoor heated swimming pool, the sports hall and the outdoor play equipment. There is also loads of outdoor space for running around. In addition, we have use of an indoor activity room and dining room for some healthy home-cooked food.

We usually return to Westbury-on-Trym at 3pm on Sunday.

How much does it cost?

The cost in 2025 was £55 per child, which included transport, accommodation, all activities and food. We keep costs to a minimum, and there are bursaries available to families for whom cost is a barrier to their child attending.

Note: all helpers go through the church’s safer recruiting process, including DBS checks, and are involved with youth work.
