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 heaviest weekend of dub all year!? It’s THE annual TiD birthday roadblock and if we need to introduce you to Aba Shanti-i or Dubkasm at this point, you’ve been seriously neglecting life’s great Teachings. Inside’s a real treat for the heads, two overlooked titans of 90s steppas - Nomadix and Jonah Dan - rarely sighted on Sinai-sized rigs in Bristol waters. Prepare for righteous bass fulfilment.
Teachings in Dub 17 at The Trinity Centre.
The footwork godfather lighting up Sinai sound!? That’d be your breakfast, lunch and dinner from most promoters, but this is Accidental Meetings, so you’re also gifted DJ Travella’s crazed 2000BPM future-singeli and Turkana’s frenetic hard dance straight from the world-conquering Nyege camp. Plus Boogizm. Plus K-means. Plus i-sha. Can we increase our word count please?
AM x Nyege on Sinai: RP Boo, DJ Travella +++ at The Trinity Centre.
Sell out warning! Cult ‘all tribes / all genres’ soundsystem night, running loud and heavy through RC1 Soundsystem. The AnExperience crew do what they say…providing an experience lightyears away from ‘just a DJ in a room’, this is a slice of pure club escapism. Expect everything from congotronics to gospel, jungle to lovers rock, bhangra to dancehall.

Sell out warning! Mickey Dread’s legendary Channel One stands at the high peak of sound system culture, no question. 45 years in the game and still their appearances in Bristol are rarer than we’d all like. So this looks set to be another historical Teachings dance with upful vibes and real roots, rocking you to dub and rootikal steppas heaven. Nobody does it better….

Welcome to jamrock! Kabaka blazes a conscious fire with a sizzling boom-bap / dancehall fusion ranking alongside Koffee and Chronixx as the peak of Jamaican music in the 21st century. Essential.
