There were very few other forms of entertainment that appealed to all classes in the way Shakespeare did.
For peasants it would have been blood sports like bull baiting or Wrestling, for upper classes other plays orassembleys, or balls.
Nobles would have attended plays, balls, or have gone hunting, pursued jousting, or have hosted lavish parties to entertain themselves and their friends.
The Puritans disapproved of all plays whether or not they were by Shakespeare. They disapproved of such forms of entertainment, recommending listening to sermons and reading the Bible instead.
During Shakespeare's time, boys and girls engaged in various forms of entertainment. Boys often played outdoor games like football, tag, or practiced archery, while girls participated in activities such as sewing, dancing, and playing with dolls. Both genders enjoyed plays, music, and storytelling, which were popular forms of entertainment. Additionally, festivals and community events provided opportunities for socializing and merriment.
Theatrical plays, for instance many of Shakespeare's.
Shakespeare wrote plays/ like romeo & juliet
All of Shakespeare's plays were written exclusively to entertain his audiences, although the history plays did inform them (and also misinform them) incidentally. Shakespeare did not have a moral or intellectual agenda in his plays, which is why they are so good.

Plays. Why do you think that Shakespeare was such a big deal? Also its, "What form of entertainment did the English enjoy"
Time will tell, but as it stands, the likely answer is "Shakespeare". Walt Disney's contributions to entertainment are generally "lighter" than Shakespeare's.
Hip Hop.. :)
