Britain’s 'most festive pub' has become home to a 26-foot snowman - made from 2,500 wine bottles.

The Queen Victoria Inn in Priddy, Somerset, has been putting on Christmas lights displays for the past decade - as a way to raise funds for charity.

This year the popular pub features a huge wreath on the side of the building, a Christmas tree and a snowman made from hundreds of empty wine bottles.

The pub is also covered in 55,000 Christmas lights collected over the years and 15km of cabling.
