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! Like a delightfully broken Ben Webster, Alabaster dePlume's fragile, breathy saxophone playing is as immediately captivating as it is extraordinary. Expect delicate solo work, warm ensemble and spoken word in turmoil from the Mancunian's bitter tongue Alabaster DePlume at The Trinity Centre.

Sell out warning! A blessing from the Bronx, Mike’s dream-infested rap collages haunt the world - beaming chopped ambiance, broken-jazz memories and introspective baritone flow to lost phones, sleepless nights and aching souls. Sentimental and otherworldly, Mike’s seat in the future towers of hip-hop is secure. Unswervable FFO: Quelle Chris, Earl Sweatshirt, billy woods, Madvillain, Navy Blue, Knxwledge. MIKE at The Trinity Centre.

Endlessly inventive bastions of that Bristol nu-jazz sound headline Trinity for one of their biggest hometown shows ever. Weaving jittery electronics around rhythmically dazzling jazz breaks to fry the minds of the most ardent Ishmael Ensemble, Move 78 and Ill Considered fans. Waldo's Gift at The Trinity Centre.

Sell out warning! The First Lady of Metalheadz whips up an essential 'ardkore rip-roarer courtesy of Double O and Mantra’s peerless Rupture. Featuring the don Peverelist in rare junglist mode, Bristol’s breakbeat / dark ruffage queen Anina, cloud-gazing pad euphoria from Artificial Red + Blackeye MC on the mic all night. It’s amen heaven we tell you, what more could you want? Rupture x Trinity Presents at The Trinity Centre.

Sell out warning! The cult ‘all tribes / all genres’ soundsystem night gets a little soppy with a strictly lovers / wannabe lovers session of ska, soul, gospel and more running heavy through the Dharma HiFi scoops at heartache-inducing volume! AnExperience x Trinity Presents ~ Something Lovely at The Trinity Centre.
