The festive season has begun for a pub in Bristol, which has already put up a Christmas tree.

The Air Balloon in Filton has a tradition of setting up the Christmas decorations unseasonably early.

Alongside the tree, the pub has also advertised their Christmas menu for particularly festive diners.

In an online post, staff at the pub said: "it's never too early!"

The premature Christmas countdown has been met with a mix of festive cheer and surprise from locals.

One person commented online: "That's it. I'm done."

Another said: "Noooo too blinking early."

The decorations were first put up 131 days before the big day.
