Brentwood's population stood at 77,050 at the 2021 census, making it one of the larger towns in Essex — and one with a market history stretching back almost 800 years.
A market charter from 1227, and the Baytree Centre today
Brentwood was granted permission to hold a market in 1227, a charter that kept the town's High Street busy for centuries. It didn't last: by the early 1800s the market had ceased altogether, and contemporary accounts described the surviving buildings as "mostly irregular and mean." The trading tradition never fully returned to the street.
What Brentwood has instead is the Baytree Shopping Centre, and its Baytree Local Market — a recurring event bringing in artisan stallholders selling handmade jewellery, crafts, and sweet treats. It's a pleasant echo of the medieval market, run on a modern, occasional footing rather than as a permanent fixture.
What an artisan market doesn't stock
A stall selling handmade sweets on a market day is built for browsing, not for a 3kg bulk bag, a vegan-specific range, or a halal-friendly selection ordered for a business or event. That's a different scale of buying entirely.
Why Brentwood shoppers order online anyway
Between market days, and for anything beyond a stall-sized purchase, ordering online and having it delivered is the more consistent option — no need to time a trip around a monthly market.
