Bristol in pictures: Images from across the city Sporting success has been a theme this week, with Gloucestershire's cricketers bringing the T20 Blast trophy back for a photo opp in Bristol.

Then there has also been boy bands, awards for people who go above and beyond, Halloween build-up and a special moment for a south Bristol school.

Showtime: Live music is on offer pretty much every night of the week in Bristol. This week The Vamps gave their fans a night to remember at the O2 Academy on Tuesday.

A team effort: Gloucestershire took the time to recognise the efforts of its whole staff after the players beat rivals Somerset to lift the T20 Blast title at Edgbaston. Once back in Bristol they lined up for this picture at the County Ground.

Coming together: Members of the Hong Kong community gathered at Yate Parish Hall to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with musical performances, lantern making and traditional food and refreshments as part of an event organised by South Gloucestershire Council.

Local legends: A special ceremony took place at Aerospace Bristol on Friday night, as 29 people were recognised for going above and beyond to help others at the BBC Radio Bristol Make a Difference Awards .

The special moment: Pupils from Venturers' Academy in Withywood find out their school has won a top award. It was named one of the top three in the world for "overcoming adversity" during the T4 Education awards on Thursday, and children from the school gathered at Bristol Beacon for the announcement.

Going underground: They're packing them in at a venue that thousands of people walk over every day without realising it's there. Underground Bristol, which holds dance parties in a delivery warehouse which serves stores in The Galleries in the city centre, has multiple events planned between now and Christmas.

Unique art: Ukrainian artist Oksana Merhut, known as the Sand Fairy, brought her special skills to the Trinity Centre on Friday. She uses sand to create pictures which are then projected onto a screen. Her tour is raising money for the armed forces back in her home country.

If you dare: A new venue for Halloween fun is operating on Bath Road this autumn, Glenavon Farm is home to the Picking Patch, where there are pick your own pumpkins, a Halloween Maze and plenty more for fans of spooky activities.
