Trinity Centre, Trinity Road, Bristol, City of Bristol BS2 0NW
Bristol Pride night was a right “Scream” after a brill performance from the super talented Kelis. My friends and I decided to head to the alternative Pride party held at trinity and hosted by the Mutiny and Wonky nights (organisers of alternative gay nights within Bristol). The weather was dreadful, so luckily when we got there, they were letting people in quickly; we entered into the vast space. The high ceilings and stained windows made it a real quirky venue. The church building was decorated with hundreds of balloons all over the floor. Although the venue was very busy the bar worked well to prevent long waits for drinks. £5 for 2 Redstripes was the offer of the day, which for a Saturday night is fantastic, other drinks were reasonable too, I enjoyed a number of pear Kopparbergs for just £3.60 each. As we entered, Sisqo’s “The Thong Song” blared from the loud sound system and I was in HEAVEN! Old 80’s and 90’s classics continued to entertain the crowds throughout the evening from the Spice Girls to Madness. Alternative night meant for some alternative kinds of people, a real great mix of scene kids to some old enough to have been their grandparents. A great atmosphere buzzed throughout and added a real relaxed, euphoric feeling to the night. Due to the day long drinking I only managed until 2am - at least I left the party whilst it was still in real swing. This is their second annual pride event and I shall be sure to return to the 3rd; a great change from the usual Bristol Gay Scene.
