A popular Hampshire railway line will be transformed for Halloween.

The Watercress Line will be hosting its Wizard Week from October 26 until November 3.

This will see its trains and four stations packed with gruesome activities and enchanting adventures for visitors to enjoy.

People can board the Wizard Express and travel through the stations as much as they like.

The "horrifying highlights" will include a "lurid laboratory" where people can make their own slime, take part in circus skills workshops and enjoy twice-daily magic shows.

There will also be a daily fancy dress competition for people to take part in.

The Watercress Line’s CEO, Rebecca Dalley, said: "This year's Wizard Week dares to scare, with gory fun for everyone.

"We look forward to welcoming wise wizards, little witches and plenty of other crazy characters to The Watercress Line.

"Book your tickets online and don’t miss out on the Halloween magic."

Visitors will also be able to stop at the footbridge where scenes from a Harry Potter film were shot.

There will be a chance for people to meet creatures at Ropley, craft their own wand and listen to stories.
