Organisers of the first festival celebrating the hedgehog, and its connections to Ross, are hoping that they are successful in their invitation to a giant version of the creature.

The Ross Celebration of the Hedgehog is due to take place from April 27th - May 18th. A seven foot tall hedgehog sculpture has been unveiled on Clapham Common to celebrate the return of David Attenborough's Natural Curiosities.
