A HUMAN fruit machine proved a hit at Sidbury's Village Fete last weekend.
More than 400 people attended the event on Saturday and �3,400 was raised for St Giles' Church and Sidbury Primary School PTFA.
Sidmouth Town Band kicked off the fun and pupils from the primary school entertained the crowds with an outdoor performance around the maypole.
The numerous stalls went down a storm and the cake stall alone made �400.
Children had fun on the bouncy castle and the sideshows attracted plenty of attention.
Refreshments were served throughout the day with a sumptuous barbecue and the tea ladies worked hard to quench the thirst of the masses.
