Somerset in pictures: Santas on ice and bus DJs

A special charity challenge saw many santas take to the ice rink at Clarks Village

It may be too soon for some, but the first hints of Christmas have become visible across Somerset.

Our weekly picture round-up includes Santas on ice and Bath city centre getting a festive touch.

Racing was back at Taunton, and a unique church project has been completed.

Santas on Ice: The Clarks Village shopping outlet in Street held an event on Thursday evening aiming to break a record by getting more than 142 "skating Santas" on the ice simultaneously. It is believed that a total of 157 Santas joined the fun but the team will have to wait for confirmation of a new record.

Party Bus: Four young musicians from Glastonbury named themselves 3SEVEN6 after the 376 bus service. Charlie Chamberlain, 26, Harley Kingham, 22, Hayden Salter, 24, and Josh Herridge, 28, will perform aboard the bus during Glastonbury’s illuminated carnival. Mr Chamberlain has gone as far as to having the numbers 376 tattooed across his stomach.

It's beginning to...: The Christmas tree outside Bath Abbey is now lighting up the evenings in the city, as November passes and we head towards December. The city's famous Christmas market will soon be here.

Down the back straight: Riders head towards the finish line during Thursday's meeting at Taunton Racecourse, with an autumnal backdrop.

Tin Church: Edithmead Church, in Stoddens Lane, near Burnham-on-Sea, is known as "The Tin Church" and dates back to 1919. The community helped to raise £11,000 to repair the old building's roof and repaint its exterior. Church treasurer Maureen Phillips said: "People love the building because it's always been there for their whole lives. It's a familiar thing."
