One of the major concerns of the local council is that the town is "particularly lacking in leisure provision".
At one time the town had two cinemas, but the last of these closed in the 1960s and a plan to build a new one never came to fruition.
Although the town's theatre also closed down many years ago, the Brownhills Community School's theatre stages productions by local groups such as the Aldridge Musical Comedy Society and the Walsall Gilbert and Sullivan Society.

Brownhills holds an annual canal festival in June with stalls, entertainment and boat trips, and there is an active Community Association which organises a range of events, including a weekend-long military display event in 2006.
The town had a weekly market for many years, but it closed down in 2010 due to lack of traders and the site was subsequently redeveloped for housing.

Brownhills has several public houses.
Although some older ones, such as the Victorian-era Jolly Collier in Coppice Side, were demolished in the 1980s, several dating from the 19th century still stand comparatively unchanged, including the Shoulder of Mutton, which still bears windows etched with the emblem of the brewery which owned it in the 1850s.
The Station Hotel in the High Street hosted concerts, including an appearance by Black Sabbath in 1968.
