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! Last chance to see the baroque existentialism of Porridge Radio! Fresh off a farewell tour announcement, the oft-transcendent Brighton band’s final Bristol show is unmissable. The formula is tried and true: Dana Margolin’s grimly combustible poetry of the everyday stacks up until set ablaze by her band’s serrated post-punk arrangements. Don’t miss the swan song of one of the UK’s most vital bands of the past decade.

Ríoghnach Connolly and Honeyfeet return to town with a raucous ride through protest soul, twisted folk, and deep groove. BBC Radio 2 Folk Singer of the Year, the irrepressible Connolly unleashes powerhouse vocals, flute flourishes, and enough quick-fire wit to turn gigs into cathartic carnivals. Around her, Honeyfeet’s seismic pulse and opulent swing summon nothing less than rapture.

Sell out warning! Two of psychedelia’s most distant travelers unite for a live visionquest of unknown dimensions. Gong’s expansive, esoteric jazz fusion fuses with the gonzo electro druids of HENGE for a crop-circle generating, third-eye opening evening that’ll alter the very space-time fabric of the Trinity and all within it. Reserve your spot on this flying teapot well before take-off.

Following 4 years of sold out parties, Brown Excellence are taking over Trinity with a festival celebrating South Asian culture intertwined with the duo’s signature club heat. Across three stages, catch Baalti’s percussive dek bass, Bollywood disco and house, JAWARI on the sitar-led jazz and raga specialist Sway of the Verses. Plus food stalls, silent disco and much more.

The final night of Down Stokes’ psychedelic trip is unmissable for the melted garage rock uber-faithful. Featuring the careening, runaway-train rock of Wine Lips, the bammy, notebook-doodle hammock humour of The Bug Club, and Dreamwave’s shimmering psych-pop hallucinations.
