Ross-on-Wye is strongly associated with hedgehogs, there is one on the Mayor’s chain, several in St Mary’s Church and the town even has its own Hedgehog Festival.

The Festival is holding a Special Family Fun Day on September 17th from 11am at the river side, near to the Hope and Anchor pub.

Youngsters can learn how to be Hedgehog Heroes, buy hedgehog-themed arts and crafts including homes made by local children, learn how to create wildlife gardens, come face to face with birds of prey, listen to hedgehog-themed stories and so much more.

Check out their Facebook page for more details.
