BHPS’ five alternatives for bonfire night:

/in /by
    • Make a wild mess! Gather fallen leaves, twigs and sticks and stack them in a quiet corner of your garden to provide nesting materials and shelter for local hedgehogs! Bugs & butterflies will appreciate an organic, undisturbed place to spend the winter too.
    • Hedgehog house party! Have a hedgehog-themed party with friends and neighbours – with ‘hog themed bakes, food & fancy dress!
    • Embrace your inner hedgehog! Escape the noise and dangers of bonfire night by making a cosy nest for yourself with pillows, blankets and fairy-lights for added sparkle. Settle in to watch our animated YouTube series The Littlest Hoglet from your cosy hibernaculum!
    • Go to a public display! If you really love bonfires and fireworks, head to an organised event to mark the occasion. The wildlife in your garden will thank you!
    • Spread the word! Download & share or print & hand out our posters at local shops & community spaces before bonfire events, or email info@britishhedgehogs.org.uk & we’ll post some out to you!
