Mon. 2pm–7pm; Wed. 4pm-6pm; Thu. 10am-1pm; Fri. 2pm–4pm; Sat. 10am–noon.

A mobile library also visits Martley, for times see County Council Web Page and choose the Martley or Martley Hill timetable (they look the same to me).

Retail Outlets
Martley is most fortunate in the retail outlets that it possesses–a petrol and repair garage, a post office with a wide range of services and a Mace store with useful DIY section.

There is the Admiral Rodney at Berrow Green, 1 mile south along the B4197. 1 mile east towards Worcester on B4204 is The Mason’s Arms and at Knightwick with its own brewery sits The Talbot, an old coaching inn. All offer excellent food and drink.

Accommodation
Admiral Rodney and The Talbot.
