INFO

The Trinity Centre is a renowned nightclub and community venue located in the St Jude's area of Bristol, United Kingdom. Housed in a striking Grade II*-listed former church, originally built in the early 19th century as the Holy Trinity Church, the site has carved out a unique space within both the local and national music scenes. Having fallen into disuse in the latter part of the 20th century, the building was reimagined in the 1970s as a community arts centre.
Over the decades, The Trinity Centre has become celebrated for its diverse programming, which encompasses not only club nights and live music, but also community projects and cultural events. Its reputation stems from its inclusive ethos and its pivotal role in nurturing Bristol’s groundbreaking music culture, especially in genres like reggae, punk, jungle, drum and bass, and trip hop. The venue remains in its original location, but its structure has seen significant renovation and adaptation to accommodate its new functions as a performance and event space, resulting in a unique atmosphere that blends historic architecture with contemporary culture.
The Trinity Centre is often highlighted as an essential platform for emerging talent, grassroots movements, and underground music, while also serving as a key destination for international acts. Its cultural significance in Bristol is hard to overstate: it has long been a melting pot for diverse communities and a launchpad for influential scenes and subgenres that have shaped the musical identity of the city and the UK at large. Notable artists who have performed at The Trinity Centre include international acts such as Public Enemy, The Wailers, Lee "Scratch" Perry, The Skatalites, Fat Freddy's Drop, and Mad Professor, as well as prominent local figures like Massive Attack, Roni Size, Tricky, Portishead, DJ Krust, and Laid Blak.
The venue has also hosted live sets and raves featuring pioneering DJs and producers like Goldie, LTJ Bukem, Shy FX, and Adrian Sherwood, and continues to provide a stage for artists at the cutting edge of electronic, hip hop, and world music.
