THOUSANDS braved the wet and windy conditions of West Somerset over the weekend to enjoy a festive delight - Dunster by Candlelight.

The annual event, which ran across Friday and Saturday (December 7 and 8), was battered by high winds and heavy rainfall across the two days, but was still enjoyed by visitors to the village.

As well as numerous stalls, event and entertainment on village streets, Dunster Castle hosted music and festivities.

Below are a series of photographs from the event, taken by members of the Somerset Camera Club...
