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! Gorgeous, dream-soaked ghost music, refracted through hypnagogic pop lulls and a soulful jazz poise. Tara Clerkin Trio’s seductive sound is rooted in the city’s lineage of smudged trip-hop and experimental forms, with this homecoming gig at Trinity promising something quietly magical that we’ll all look back on for years to come… utterly unmissable.

Sell out warning! Steppas annihilation and militant dub futurism in the arena! Concrete Lion couldn't be prowling much higher right now. The next-gen Carnival kings had the honour of King Earthquake blessing their rig, now they're running plates with the mighty Vanguards of Dub on their own battle-scarred sound. Seismic, unmissable, historical.
Teachings in Dub
Sell out warning! A rare treat for radical thespians: Worms Theatre hosts a playful, beginner’s-friendly deep dive into Augusto Boal’s revolutionary practice, culminating in a Forum Theatre play at the end of the course. Theatre of the Oppressed reframes ‘acting’ as a vehicle for social change, encouraging anarchic audience participation and providing a safe space to practice real-life resistance.

Seedling Sessions returns to the frankly glorious Fyfe Hall (upstairs at Trinity Centre), presenting a who's-who of Bristol rap for Black History Month. In front of the stained-glass: bass-heavy neo-soul fireworks from MĀDŁY and Soulbee, low-slung trapstar Kwazi, conscious boom-bap from iAM13e + food, exhibition and more.

Sell out warning! Industrial hardtek heads: if you miss EXRCISM your year was wasted. Inside the 6 hour Thunderdome: Rotterdam’s meanest Krista Bourgeois unleashing raw live modular hell, The Teknoist & Tokky Horror icon Mollie Rush linking for big fuck off vocal rave annihilation + 00s Deathchant / Rebelscum rotter Deathmachine inna darkside crossbreed meltdown.
