RED House Farm in Dunham Massey welcomed TV cameras today from the iconic children's programme, Blue Peter.

Presenter Barney Harwood was filmed by a drone in the middle of the horticultural attraction, the Maize Maze, that has proved popular with adults and children alike.

This year's theme of the Maze is the Blue Peter badge, a symbol of achievement worn by generations of youngsters.

It isn't the first time the Maize Maze has received national TV coverage. In 2013 it appeared on another BBC programme, The One Show, when it took on the shape of the logo of the popular magazine show.

A year later it had a fairytale theme, drawing inspiration from Lewis Carroll, the writer behind the classic and timeless fairytale, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

The Maze even had a 75 metre corn cowboy at its heart in 2011 and young visitors were invited to name him.
