Please try this:
$str = 'Aylmers(test, test2), Ancaster(Clandeboye, Bluevale)';
echo preg_replace("/([^)]+)/","",$str );
output:
Aylmers, Ancaster
Regex
unfortunately this does not remove nested brackets such as A (B (C) D) and leaves you with A D

FYI - Those are not brackets. They are parentheses. Brackets look like this: [ ]

ok, well then maybe that's a difference in dialect - in America anyway it's typically: Parentheses (), Brackets , Braces {}

`<?php`
`$string = "Stay 01 (Remove 01), Stay 02 (Remove 02)";`
`echo preg_replace("/([^)]+)/","",$string); // 'ABC '`
If also want to remove nested data in brackets. You can use:
$str = 'Aylmers(test, test2), Ancaster(Clandeboye, Bluevale)';
echo preg_replace("/(([^()]*+|(?R))*)/","", $str);
//output:
//Aylmers, Ancaster
Explanation:
/ - Opening delimiter
( - Match opening parenthesis
[^)]+ - Match character that is not a closing parenthesis
