The Old Brentwoods Clubhouse holds many social events during the year, a number of which will be private functions booked directly with Melanie Bryant, the Clubhouse General Manager, (please refer to the Clubhouse page for details). Most of the remaining parties, discos, dinners and various sporting events are devised and arranged by the individual affiliated clubs.

The major Society events include the following:

The Summer Ball is organised in association with The Friends of Brentwood School. The Ball is usually held in the first week of July to coincide with the end of the School year, attracting around 200 people for a wonderful evening's entertainment in a marquee situated within the grounds of the Old Brentwoods Clubhouse.

The Clubhouse hosts a wide variety of functions during the year including Summer Balls which are held in a marquee on the grounds, wedding receptions, private parties, club dinners, Charity events, Christenings, Birthday parties, funerals and business seminars. An extensive range of menus are available and trained staff are on hand to make sure your event runs smoothly.

Many Old Brentwoods go on to take up prestigious careers after they leave the school. Old Brentwoods are found in every walk of life, from City Business, to the Arts, Broadcasting, the Church, the Armed Forces, Politics and Sports. As part of the school's Millennium celebrations, it published a book called, "The Best of Days?" which gives a collection of personal memories by some of the school's better known alumni. These include, Sir Hardy Amies, Sir Robin Day, Douglas Adams, Griff Rhys Jones, Noel Edmonds, and Frank Lampard junior.

The Old Brentwoods Masonic Lodge No. 5342 is the only aspect of Old Brentwoods' activities that is exclusive to past pupils of Brentwood School. As with all lodges, members must be male and over 21 years of age.

Since 2004, a group of Old Brentwoods living within travelling distance of Bournemouth meet twice a year in the Spring and Autumn for a convivial lunch in the Miramar Hotel in Bournemouth.
