In Brentwood's High Street, just in front of the Bay Tree Shopping centre, there is the ruins of a small chapel originally built for people travelling from London to Colchester. The High Street follows path of the original road between those two, much more significant towns.

[edit][add listing] Do

For those who enjoy clubbing, Sam's Night club near Wilson's Corner (big pillar commemorating a martyr) was very popular, although it is now closed, and its role is partly taken over by the Eclipse club/pub nearby. If you're looking for somewhere actually designed for young people the Hermit club showcases (mostly) local bands on Wednesdays and Fridays from 7ish until late and although prices vary it is unlikely that you'll spend more than £5 getting in.

[edit][add listing] Buy

If you are planning to buy anything, Chelmsford is probably the best shopping district around.

[edit][add listing] Drink

People come from miles around to drink in Brentwood, for some this is a good reason to avoid the place. The High Street and surrounding roads are chock full of bars and pubs, ranging from the quiet cosy "local" pubs to the C-list celebrity packed and extremely loud Sugar Hut Village although be wary, they don't just serve drinks there.
