Meteorological summer is here! And while it may have not felt like it some days this week, Somerset's calendar of events is warming up.

Bath Rugby were on fire on Friday night, booking their place in the Premiership final at Twickenham.

Home Farm Fest is taking place at Chilthone Domer this weekend, and Weston College are performing their musical Echoes of The Stage.

Here is our weekly snapshot of life in the county over the past few days.

Heading for the final: There were fireworks on and off the pitch at the Rec on Friday night as Bath beat local rivals Bristol 34-20 to book their place in the Premiership final at Twickenham.

Lamb season: Weather Watcher Nutkin captured this mother and child grazing on a hill in Priddy.

New lease of life: Gordano School's "Secret Garden" has been given a makeover thanks to the hard work of nearly 40 volunteers from Enjoy Church, who cleared rubble and improved the outdoor learning space.

The festival takes place from 6-8 June

For the greater good: The county's charity School in a Bag (SIAB) is hosting its annual fundraiser festival Home Farm Fest from Friday to Sunday in Chilthorne Domer for the 18th time.

Relax and kick back: The Gibbons at Tropiquaria Zoo in Washford take a break every afternoon to "chill and groom each other", according to the zoo managers.

Musical journey: Weston College Performing Arts are presenting their showcase production, Echoes of the Stage, at the Playhouse Theatre this weekend. A fusion of song, dance, and drama, their play is a celebration of musical theatre.

Disappointed: Fans were left "extremely disappointed" after a Frome Town Council postponed a decision that could have "saved" Frome Town Football Club. The council purchased the club's Badgers Hill stadium in 2022 after its previous owners got into financial difficulties. An anonymous private operator has now offered to lease the ground and buy the team but the council delayed a decision on the deal at a meeting on Thursday.
