The Brentwood Festival is an annual music festival held at the Brentwood Centre in Brentwood, Essex every July. The festival donates a share of its proceeds to charity, and has raised a total of £120,000 for various causes. As well as live music, the festival hosts a selection of over 100 real ales, a food market, fairground rides and additional activities for children. The festival evolved from a smaller event at the White Horse pub in Coxtie Green near the town, and has steadily grown to its current size, with over 12,000 attending the 2014 event.
