The Billericay Art Trail showcases the talents of local artists and promotes local business by encouraging people to visit shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs, churches and other community venues to view a wide variety of art throughout the Trail.

Each year the 'Churches Together in Billericay' or CTB as it's known organises a free event at Lake Meadows park called 'Picnic in the Park', previously Fun in the Park.

The family aimed event provides a wealth of activites for all ages and is well attended each year with families taking picnics and games to play.

After 30 years of providing a diverse and popular event, the Essex Country Show is no longer running at Barleylands Farm.
