Little Hedgehogs
Book Trail (Ross-on-Wye)
When? Throughout March, 2026
Where? Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire
What's happening?
- 24 shops are now displaying a children's book character in their window (some shops have dressed their whole window in the character's theme!).
- Children can pick up an entry form from Ross Library or from one of the participating shops, and they must search the town for all of the characters.
- Once a character is found, write the name of the shop under the picture of that character.
- Once the sheet is completed, pop your child's name on the sheet and return it to Ross Library, where it will be entered into a draw to win a £10 book voucher and a fluffy hedgehog toy!
