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.
Porridge Radio at The Trinity Centre.
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.
Gong x HENGE at The Trinity Centre.
Sell out warning! The final night of Down Stokes’ psychedelic trip is unmissable for the melted garage rock uber-faithful. Featuring the propulsive, careening, runaway-train rock of Wine Lips; the bammy, notebook-doodle hammock humour of The Bug Club; and Dreamwave’s shimmering psych-pop hallucinations.
Wine Lips / The Bug Club / Dreamwave at The Trinity Centre.
Sell out warning! Mickey Dread and Ras Kayleb’s legendary Channel One stands at the high peak of sound system culture, no question. 45 years in the game and we still can’t get enough. This looks set to be another historical Teachings x Trinity dance with upful vibes and real roots, rocking you to dub and rootikal steppas heaven. Nobody does it better….
Teachings in Dub x Trinity Day party at 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.
