The Trinity Centre

The Trinity Centre

Converted church where community centre meets venue.


Set in a converted Grade II* listed former church in East Bristol, the Trinity Centre has been a key part of Bristol’s thriving music scene since the 1970s.

Trinity has hosted many of Bristol’s major musical movements, such as dub, ska, jungle, and the Bristol Sound, with renowned artists like Joy Division, The Specials, Prodigy, and Public Enemy gracing its stage.

Trinity has remained one of Bristol’s last independent venues, keeping true to its heritage as a soundsystem venue by hosting local regulars such as Teachings in Dub, Sofa Sound and Timedance, as well as platforming the best local talent from the city alongside regular live music, theatre, dance, and community events.

Since 2004, Trinity has been a successful multi-arts venue and community arts centre, with a mission to empower the local community with the arts and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to access and shape arts and culture in Bristol through outreach programmes, workshops and regular classes.

Our recent recommendations for The Trinity Centre

Sell out warning! The legendary Scottish master of junkie literature reassembles the Trainspotting crew for more brutal recklessness and, apparently, (canonically renounced) romance... Released in tandem with a bespoke disco soul record to soundtrack a multi European city early rave-era setting. You can't stay at home all day dreaming about heroin and Iggy Pop. Tickets get you £2 off the book. Men in Love launch with Irvine Welsh at The Trinity Centre.

Sell out warning! The Soft Butch crew are throwing a sensual, cosy Pride garden party! Complete with drag kings striptease, House of Boussé’s iconic genderfuckery and dancefloor somatics from Dunya and LEXX - building from ambient hypnotism towards a steamy blend of reggaeton, house and Afrobeat. SOFT BUTCH ❈ SOFT PRIDE ❈ Day Party at The Trinity Centre.

Free entry! A Trinity Centre community celebration of the Windrush generation’s journey and enduring legacy. Joyfully stacked to the rafters with a book fair, arts exhibition, storytelling from the spoken word luminaries of St Paul's Carnival Human Library, and music from acoustic Caribbean folk duo Artuba – plus food, DJs, and garden games. Windrush Celebration Day at The Trinity Centre.

The beyond-cvlt transcendental blackgaze bastion’s constantly evolving trip comes to an IRL head in a baptismal roar of chorused guitar squall, guttural vocal catharsis and post-rock knife-edge tension. Sunbather changed metal forever. Period. We just live in the afterglow. A monumental happening FFO: Liturgy, MBV, Alcest, Holy Fawn, Deftones, Mogwai. American black metal

Sell out warning! Still reeling from Aba Shanti-i? Hell, we’re still reeling from Jah Tubby’s 50th birthday. Now one of the heaviest to ever do it returns, not far from their sacred Carnival spot on Argyle Road, bringing their militant ‘Hooligan Sound’ to face Bristol’s foundational Jah Lokko. Full crews inside, with 70s pedigrees apiece, emanating pure knowledge and energy from all available plates and subs. Dubheads: it doesn’t get any better than this. Teachings in Dub x Bristol Dub Club
