TEABREAK at Home

Beat the January blues and enjoy a relaxing TEABREAK

Trigger are proud to be bringing a brand new free TEABREAK experience into your home, and to people living in care homes in North Somerset.

TEABREAK is a gentle audio experience told through headphones. Relax with a cup of tea for half an hour, and listen as the evocative story of tea unfolds alongside an original composition from Rakae Jamil.

Kicking off on the notorious Blue Monday, we visited care homes in North Somerset and brought the TEABREAK experience to older people, ahead of our Spring/Summer tour of TEABREAK to UK festivals.

We also offered a free virtual TEABREAK experience for one week only. We invited audiences to tune in, enjoy a drink of their choice, and experience TEABREAK from the comfort of their home.

This event has now passed.

TEABREAK in Care Homes

We brought TEABREAK to care homes in North Somerset in partnership with Alive.

From the 20th to 24th January 2025, we took our immersive audio experience on the road to different care homes across North Somerset. Here's some of the feedback from residents and staff:

"It was an absolutely amazing experience. It brought in lots of memories and was extremely relaxing"

"If you have been to India in the past, it really takes you back there to that time in your life"

"It made me want to dance"

Thank you for joining us for the free digital TEABREAK experience from 20th to 24th January 2025

It was wonderful to welcome our virtual audience to the TEABREAK At Home experience.

Here's what our audiences had to say

"Heartening, interesting, inspiring"

"Informative - Moving - Joyous"

"I loved the encouragement to make a drink and have a moment. It meant that I fully immersed myself in the experience. The thought that there were other people doing the same thing was heart warming."

"My favourite part was taking some time out for myself"
