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! Post-hardcore pit-starters Drug Church unleash fiercely cutting punk-poetry at Bristol’s own house of sonic worship! Cast yourself into a storm of driving guitar churn, brooding atmospherics, unshakable hooks and Patrick Kindlon’s stacked vocal yelps – this is a rugged AF force FFO: Turnstile, Mannequin Pussy, The Jesus Lizard, Bad Religion.

Sell out warning! Rotting Christ! In Bristol? The first time in a GENERATION!? We’d get a ticket just for that and 11 hours of silence. But hell there’s also mythical Fenland black metal cvltleaders Infernal Sea, hostile deathgrind veterans Benighted, raw and ritualist Scottish atmoblack from Fuath + your only chance to see Kranuum’s slam brutality this year without hopping a plane. Praying to Baphomet for Extreme Fest 2027 already...
BRISTOL EXTREME FEST 2026 at The Trinity Centre.
Sell out warning! One of the heaviest to ever do it, 55 years young! Arrrrrgyyyyyylle Roooooad – we can’t walk down St Paul’s without feeling Jah Tubby’s energy. Better yet to feel it through the walls and floors of Trinity though, meeting the mighty historical Fatman Sound inna celebration of the legacy of Gordon Fatman (RIP). Expect only heaviest steppas, the deepest roots, and the most upful dub vibrations.

From new kids on the block to double digits, Firmly Rooted have barely missed a beat powering some of the mightiest next gen sessions and lending a scoop or ten to visiting veterans. We knew this was gonna be a biggun then: Sister Aisha and Joe Ariwa representing the Mad Professor dynasty, Mali Blakamix slinging the most futuristic steppas around (RIP Mixman) + Lionpulse and Rider toasting all night long.
TWO STEP FORWARD: 10 YEARS OF FIRMLY ROOTED: AISHA, ARIWA, BLAKAMIX, YAKSHA at The Trinity Centre.
R U Married... R U Occupied? Steptwice & Intaception reeeeeally step things up, rolling out the big Firmly Rooted guns for this Detroit techno royalty red carpet session. DIE’s timeless acid-booty electro bouncers are gonna rumble like never before in Trinity’s bonafide bass church, with added pressure from Duality’s tear-out jungle slammers and JPEG’s fierce AF bruk-out breakbeat stylings. Rather large one this!
