Marden Exchange's motto is "bonus est loqui" - "It's good to talk".  And it certainly gets people talking!

When not in very good use as a village book swap, it also hosts village gatherings, halloween pumpkin carving competitions, and even a royal photo booth.  

​

In 2013 Marden Exchange was twinned with a similar phonebox in Thurlestone, S. Devon, the first known twinning of its kind.  It made headline news as a result.  Our phonebox resident, Gladys, thoroughly enjoyed the limelight.
