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
Bristol would’ve reached peak identity crisis in the post-dubstep years without the anything-goes collective chaos of Young Echo. So bow down low and show some adoration in the dance, with live hymnals from flamenco coldwave sensation Fiesta En El Vacio, a post-implosion EP/64 x Ossia reunion, Subloaded icon Sgt. Pokes touching mic with the Bandulu boiz, plus the usual genre agnostic crew insanity.
Young Echo - 15 yrs at The Trinity Centre.
Sell out warning! Last chance to see the baroque existentialism of Porridge Radio! Fresh off a farewell tour announcement, the oft-transcendent Brighton band’s final Bristol show is unmissable. The formula is tried and true: Dana Margolin’s grimly combustible poetry of the everyday stacks up until set ablaze by her band’s serrated post-punk arrangements. Don’t miss the swan song of one of the UK’s most vital bands of the past decade.

It’s Brooklyn x Amsterdam x Glasgow x Bristol inna 4 way clash for round 2 of Teachings’ mighty Earthstrong celebrations. Top-billing goes to Holland’s most foundational sound, King Shiloh, entering the arena with Black Omolo’s commanding lioness roar. Don’t miss NYC’s Dub-Stuy collective, returning to TiD after 3 years with JonnyGo Figure’s golden 80s deejay styles lighting up the dance.
Teachings in Dub 18 at The Trinity Centre.
Sell out warning! This isn’t just a TiD birthday, this one’s history. King Earthquake returns to shatter Bristol for the first time in 15 years, finally blessing the Concrete Lion stack as the spiritual successor to the OG Earthquake system, one of the heaviest of all time. This dub pressure’s been building for a decade and it’s about to explode, with the next-gen 1Relation crew in tow. Steppas annihilation in the arena!

Ríoghnach Connolly and Honeyfeet return to town with a raucous ride through protest soul, twisted folk, and deep groove. BBC Radio 2 Folk Singer of the Year, the irrepressible Connolly unleashes powerhouse vocals, flute flourishes, and enough quick-fire wit to turn gigs into cathartic carnivals. Around her, Honeyfeet’s seismic pulse and opulent swing summon nothing less than rapture.
