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 + Lucy Gooch at The Trinity Centre.
Sell out warning! Cult gonzo electro-space rockers packing the most batshit live show you’ve ever seen….alien prosthetics, dancing mushrooms, vocoders set to 11. If you haven’t touched the Henge, then what kinda cosmic druid are you? Truly bonkers FFO: Ozric Tentacles, Funkadelic, Gong, Battles.
HENGE + Tirikilatop -Evening Show + Family Matinee at The Trinity Centre.
Sell out warning! France’s notorious dub-quakers return to Trinity after reviving the Iration Steppas live band for Teaching’s unforgettable 17th birthday. Marching their full crew and epic stack under the Channel to meet Kai Dub’s mighty Concrete Lion in a potent collision of year 4000 steppas and militant bass .
Teachings in Dub - O.B.F x Concrete Lion at The Trinity Centre.
MĀDŁY’s Seedling Session incubator returns to the frankly glorious Fyfe Hall (upstairs at Trinity Centre). In front of the stained-glass: Komposa’s conscious grit and lyrical eloquence sparring with drill-inflected Nigerian-rap misstress Lyandra. Two of Bristol’s finest right now FFO: Kendrick, Ghetts, Kojey Radical, Bomb$hell Grenade, Angell Mutoni.
Komposa / Lyandra / CON at The Trinity Centre.
Free entry / PWYC! Gloucester arts charity Strike A Light hosts an illuminating evening of reflection on the Windrush generation. ‘The Grip’ is crafted as an interactive radio piece, gathering personal histories across recorded interviews, live audience contributions and a panel discussion with community voices – including Bristol’s inaugural Poet Laureate, Miles Chambers.
