Murphy’s Bar in Regent Street held the event last Friday and raised more than £1,200 to help the survivors of the recent disaster in Syria and Turkey.

A Leamington pub has made the news abroad after holding a fundraising event to help the survivors of the recent devastating earthquake which took place in Turkey and neighbouring Syria recently.

Murphy’s Bar in Regent Street raised more than £1,200 for the disaster appeal by holding a night of music and entertainment last Friday.

Staff worked for free with owner Kevin Murphy donating their wages to the cause and the bar charged £15 for admission to the event which included bingo and live music from Jaykays.
