Our Family Fun Days are back!

Brentwood Council and Brentwood Connected Business Improvement District are bringing our Family Fun Days to our High Streets this year.

Join us for four actioned packed Family Fun Days this Summer taking place in two of our outreach parks and two in our local high streets. They are free to attend and will have lots of activities on offer such as rides, sports, crafts, Punch & Judy shows, health and wellbeing workshops and more.

  • Friday 29 August – Hutton Recreation Ground, CM13 1LZ

Wristbands will be able to purchase on the Friday fundays for £5. You will not need a wristband for the High Street fun days. We're looking for local businesses, clubs and groups to promote yourself by putting on activities for families.

Strawberry Fair

Over 10,000 people attended the Strawberry Fair on Sunday 8 June, held in King George's Playing Fields commemorating the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

The fair bought the community together for a full day of activities and entertainment. Visitors of all ages enjoyed live performances from Brentwood Imperial Youth Band, local music acts, Razzamataz Theatre School and Stagecoach Performing Arts alongside walkabout entertainers, rides, the traditional Punch and Judy show and a wide selection of food, drink and charity stalls.

The event wouldn't be possible without support from our wonderful volunteers, performers, sponsors and supporters. A big thank you to everyone involved.
