The Trinity Centre

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! So you’ve been blessed by the vanguards of dub before, but now their full live show returns for the first time since their 90s Kitachi reign. Mark Iration nicing up the mic, Dennis Rootical rocking the bass and OBF punishing the desk - this is surely steppas history in the making…..none shall pass! Teachings in Dub 17 at 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.

Sell out warning! 17 years Corsica-aged vintage dnb NRG - Double O & Mantra bring that peerless Rupture vibe rip-roaring into Trinity Centre for one night of undiluted amen heaven. Huge double headliner action with hallowed Bristol Sound alchemist DJ Krust on a ‘93 special + ‘ardkore junglist futurism from the one and only Tim Reaper. This is how you do it…. Rupture 18th Birthday 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. Pangea ~ Soundsystem music from around the globe at The Trinity Centre.
