Marbury is a small village located in Cheshire in North West England.

It is 3 miles from Wrenbury (near Nantwich) in Cheshire and 3½ miles from Whitchurch in Shropshire.

Every year there is a two-day traditional country fair called 'Marbury Merry Days'. It takes place in a field adjacent to St Michael’s & All Angels Church (Diocese of Chester) and a mere in Marbury.

The church contains the oldest pulpit in Cheshire, built in 1456. The current vicar is Stephen Walton.
