Moving to or from Rubery? Let M&G Do the Heavy Lifting (Before the A38 Reminds You Who’s Boss)

Welcome to Rubery — the Birmingham/Worcestershire border village that can’t quite decide if it’s city or countryside. With around 16,000 residents, a High Street full of shops, and the Lickey Hills practically on your doorstep, Rubery is the kind of place where you can grab a Costa, hike a hill, and still be back in time for tea.

Schools That Actually Impress

Rubery Primary and Colmers School serve the local community, while nearby Bromsgrove and Birmingham offer plenty of secondary and independent options. Translation: your kids will get a solid education and you’ll get used to hearing about school trips to Cadbury World before they’ve even finished their homework.

Economy With a Local Buzz

Rubery thrives on its High Street — supermarkets, independents, and takeaways galore. Many residents commute into Birmingham or Worcester, but the local economy hums thanks to retail, services, and its handy spot on the A38 corridor.

Things to Do (Besides Complaining About the Traffic)

  • Lickey Hills Country Park – woodland walks, panoramic views, and the smug satisfaction of “living near proper countryside.”

  • Great Park (nearby Longbridge) – cinema, restaurants, and retail therapy all in one place.

  • Local favourites – The Cock Inn for a pint, Rubery Social Club for community buzz, and canal paths for a Sunday wander.

Moving Services That Keep It Simple

At M&G, we can’t stop the A38 from backing up at rush hour, but we can make moving day a whole lot easier:

  • Full packing services

  • Secure, insured storage (ideal if your chain moves slower than the queue at Greggs on a Saturday morning)

  • Local, national, European & overseas moves (because sometimes Rubery is just the start of the adventure)
