BLUE Peter, the BBC's flagship children's TV show, will be broadcasting live from a Herefordshire landmark for a Hallowe'en special.

The programme will be visiting Eastnor Castle, near Ledbury, on Wednesday, October 31.

The spooky special will feature scary fun including "the ghost of Houdini performing a daring escape" live on the programme.

The 5pm show will feature characters from the Harry Potter film, which opens in November and presenter Liz Barker will also be showing viewers how to make "icy wizards".

Eastnor Castle is closed for the winter but re-opens on Easter Sunday next year.
