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! No line-up needed, sign us the fuck up for this clash of dreams: Rupture’s iconic dnb bruk-out meets the rattling dubwise 140 of V.I.V.E.K’s SYSTEM. Bassheads unite, this one’s a dance for the ages.
Rupture x SYSTEM at The Trinity Centre.
Sell out warning! DFA-flavoured Yorkshire post-punks DEADLETTER take on Trinity with twitch-wired rhythms and acid-etched wit. One of the most deliriously danceable live acts around – their jittery percussive swells fist-bump with sharp-edged guitars, sassy basslines, and that signature siren sax that dares you not to move. Irresistible FFO: LCD Soundsystem, Magazine, Gang of Four, Viagra Boys.
DEADLETTER + RY-GUY at The Trinity Centre.
Sell out warning! If you’re wise to the Au Pairs, you’ve been their comment box champion, pushing their searing post-punk gender politics agenda to the top of the algorithm, waiting for this day. After 40 bloody years, they finally take to stage in a history-righting visitation of itchy punk funk FFO: Gang of Four, The Slits, Pylon, Shopping, Dry Cleaning.
Au Pairs at The Trinity Centre.
If you can’t dance to it, it’s not Bristol Transformed’s revolution! Stick around Trinity post-fest for: rousing singalongs of maritime ballads and solidarity anthems from Greenbank merry-makers Easton Shanties; Queerky selector Ashanti 007 slinging Chicago house, techno and eurodisco; the impeccably named DJ Fiat 500 keeping it silly across 180BPM floor-fillers + more political after-partying til the wee hours.
After Dark at The Trinity Centre.
A veritable breeding ground of people-powered leftist politics across 2 days of workshops, progressive talks and activities. Have your idea-starved mind readily expanded with sessions on everything from the General Strike centenary to the SWP scandal, Palestine activism to Your Party membership + much much more.
