Haddenham Rotary Human Fruit Machine makes a regular appearance at Haddenham Fete in the idyllic surrounds of Church End with the village pond and thatched cottages as its backdrop

Entertainment for all the family

Huge fun and a chance to win a Pineapple - Oh yes!

Our Human Fruit Machine is an amazing feat of complex engineering
created by Rotarian visionary Jack Lazenby, master craftsman and woodworker

Rotarians work tirelessly to staff the machine which is best operated by small children and adults, all eager to see three fruits appear as if by magic before their very eyes, and win them a pineapple!

The Human Fruit Machine is also a particular favourite of grandparents and those who remember the halcyon years before Apple and Google

Haddenham and District Rotary extend grateful thanks go to MP Printers, Thame
for their enthusiastic assistance in helping with the recent refurbishment of our Bio-mechanical wonder
