The Painted Barn featured in this month’s Wensum edition, definitely a hidden gem and worth a visit in Barnham Broom. I did this write-up off my own back because I love what they do. So it was amazing that it was the readers who bought it to the attention of the owner, and it has already driven new customers through the doors.

Have you seen this month’s article from Hampdens Hedgehogs? 🦔

🦔 Have you spotted the latest edition of Costessey?

Turn to Page 8 to read this month's article from Hampdens Hedgehogs and discover how you can help support our local hedgehog population.

This month we're sharing simple ways to make your garden more hedgehog-friendly, why young hoglets need our help at this time of year, and how you can become a Hedgehog Champion in your own community.

Every small action makes a big difference for one of Britain's most loved but declining mammals. 💚

If you have any hedgehog sightings, don't forget to log them on the Big Hedgehog Map and share your photos with us on Facebook and Instagram – we'd love to see the hedgehogs of Costessey!

Together, we can make Costessey a true Village of Wildlife. 🦔🌿
