The £6,570 raised was divided among care homes and community and support centres including Cubbington Mill, Four Ways in Lillington, Sycamores in Sydenham, Woodside in Warwick, Cherry Tree Lodge in Whitnash, The Brunswick Hub, Queensway Court and the Westbury Community Centre.
Murphy’s owner Kevin Murphy had a mural painted outside the bar to thank all those who supported the event.
He is open to suggestion as to which good causes next year’s Murphfest should support.
