The Trinity Theatre is the home of the Cowes Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society on The Grove, Cowes, Isle of Wight.

The Cowes Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society (C.A.O.D.S) was established in 1898 following successful fund raising for St. Mary's Church, Cowes.

In 1983 the society were able to purchase The Trinity Hall on The Grove (an unmade road between Castle Hill and Bars Hill), also with access from Bath Road. The building was built as Sunday Schools and Parish Hall for the nearby Holy Trinity Church, the foundation stone being laid by Lady Ellis[1] 22 April 1914. The society convert the building to a theatre, and this formed the first fixed base for the society.
