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.

The beyond-cvlt transcendental blackgaze bastion’s constantly evolving trip comes to an IRL head in a baptismal roar of chorused guitar squall, guttural vocal catharsis and post-rock knife-edge tension. Sunbather changed metal forever. Period. We just live in the afterglow. A monumental happening FFO: Liturgy, MBV, Alcest, Holy Fawn, Deftones, Mogwai.
Deafheaven at The Trinity Centre.
Sell out warning! Old Market gets medieval in this immersive walking tour, bringing to life the outlaws, market maidens and ecstatic characters of local myth. Culminating in Trinity Gardens’ full-blown fayre, packed with period-appropriate ditties, succulent feasting and archaic activities for all the family.

Eight-piece collective caroline’s songs never go where you expect them to go. Their music is simultaneously timeless and ultra-contemporary: amalgamating post-rock, midwest emo, earthy folk and minimalist drone until you’re falling upwards through a pastoral vortex. Simply put, this will be epic FFO: Phil Elverum, Slint if they were more triumphant, Still House Plants, Broken Social Scene, sweeping and weeping.
Caroline 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 Bristol Apartheid Free Zone, madness in capitalism, the politics of football + much much more.
