Moulin Rouge Fundraiser...

review

The Fountain has done it again - pulled off an evening so beyond expectation as to be utterly incredible.

The Moulin Rouge hit the village of Handcross as The Fountain Inn was turned into a hotbed of furious Can-Can and big musical numbers. Locals who weren't in the audience, cheering on the cast, were in the show itself - bringing a whole new edge to the Village Show! From Argentina to Liza with a 'Z', via Sheila's Wheels, no Broadway or Hollywood stone (or ladies' car insurance company) was left unturned.

The night was for charity with over £500 being raised for Pride.

about The Fountain Inn

The Fountain Inn has established itself as one of the favourite local pubs in the Crawley & Gatwick area with a truly mixed crowd of regulars - both gay and straight. In the picturesque surroundings of Handcross - a charming Sussex Village, from the outside you'd be forgiven in thinking it's just another traditional country pub. Step inside, however, and you'll think again - it's a tale of two halves. Today for The Fountain Inn: Cash Prize Quiz As ABBA once said, 'the winner takes it all'... all the entrance money, that is!
