Strawberry Fair & Family Fun days

Due to the ongoing global pandemic it is with great sadness Brentwood Brough Council have decide to cancel all summer events following Government advice and will look to deliver the events in 2021.

Our summer events have always been a great success and bring in thousands of people, which is why it would not be safe to continue with such a large events, we do hope to be back with a bang in 2021!

Lighting Up Brentwood  - Saturday 28th November 2020, 12-6pm

Lighting Up Brentwood is the largest community event on the Council’s calendar.  The event around Brentwood High Street celebrates the start of the festive season.  Much of the popularity of the event is down to the strong network of community organisations that are involved in providing activities along the length of the High Street, which is closed for the event. There are almost 80 market stalls selling festive arts and crafts, and hot food and drink, together with Santa’s Grotto, walkabout acts and other children’s activities. There is a packed programme of performances on three stages, primarily by local schools and talented community performers. The event attracts a lot of attention from the local press and in 2019 we estimated over 15,000 people attended the event throughout the day with a packed switch-on by the Mayor.

Stall holders can apply by completing the application form below:

Shenfield Christmas Fayre  - Sunday 13th December 1-5pm

Shenfield Christmas Fayre is a real community affair with lots of local business involvement and community groups. A large attraction during the event is the stage hosting several acts throughout the day including local schools and bands. The main High Street (Hutton Road) will be closed for the event and will host over 60 festive stalls, family attractions, Santa’s Grotto, walk about acts and rides. 2019 saw an impressive helter-skelter, photobooth, gaming bus and piping band for all the family to enjoy. Delivered in partnership with local businesses and community groups, the event has become a staple on the local calendar. Last year, the event attracted an estimated 5,000 people.
