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.

Sell out warning! Activist, comedian and radical troubadour Grace Petrie brings her unique brand of fist-in-the-air protest folk to the Trinity, examining social and political issues of austerity-ravaged modern Britain with Bragg-approved anthems of solidarity and solace. Big FFO: Frank Turner, Laura Jane Grace, Kirsty MacColl, Onsind, Mischief Brew.
Grace Petrie + The Maes at 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 + Paddy Steer -Evening Show + Family Matinee at The Trinity Centre.
Torch songs for dark smoky bars: legendary Irish songstress Mary Coughlan graces Trinity Centre with four decades of bruising, timeless jazz balladry under her belt. Her whiskey-warmed vocals and world-weary storytelling put her shoulder-to-shoulder with giants like Billie Holiday and Marianne Faithfull… Coughlan is unvarnished, unfiltered, and utterly authentic.
