Trinity's Big Sleep Out 2026

Join us for Trinity's Big Sleep Out 2026 - 40th anniversary edition! We are going bigger than ever! 'Trinity's Biggest Big Sleep Out'!!

~ ~ ~ New for 2026 – an immersive Silent Disco experience!
Dance the night away with wireless headphones offering multiple live DJ channels, each with its own vibe, adding a fun, interactive twist to the evening. Switch between channels and enjoy a shared yet uniquely personal music experience.

Explore a showcase of art including the Trinity Art Group (TAG) with their installation of '40 Stories: A Living Celebration of 40 Years' plus more!

The traditional 'celebrity bedtime story' will captivate and soothe proceedings before we bed down for the night in our homemade cardboard shelters. In the morning, wake up to FREE breakfast courtesy of the Rapid Relief Team ... and the knowledge that you have made a difference raising vital funds and awareness of homelessness and domestic abuse in our community.

Now in it's 13th year, events like the Big Sleep Out play a crucial role in supporting Trinity’s services here in Winchester.

Every penny raised goes directly towards providing long-term, positive change for people in our community.

We ask participants to raise a minimum of £100 in sponsorship (£50 for under-18s). Anyone raising £150 or more will receive a free Big Sleep Out t-shirt, and all participants will receive a Big Sleep Out goodie bag.

As Trinity marks 40 years of supporting our community, this Big Sleep Out promises to be our most meaningful yet.

This event is not an experience of being homeless. We cannot imagine the realities of sleeping rough every night. We will return to the comfort of our homes the following morning, which is not an option for thousands of people. This event is an interesting way to raise vital funds, whilst having a challenging night.
