A handmade hedgehog house has been donated to a town council as part of a project to support wildlife.

The gift, from Farnfields Solicitors, was presented to Warminster Town Council for its Lake Pleasure Grounds as part of the company’s 90th-anniversary celebrations.

Farnfields, based in Warminster with additional offices in Gillingham and Shaftesbury, marked the milestone by partnering with Sturminster Newton Men’s Shed to create wildlife habitats, including bird boxes, bug hotels, and hedgehog houses.

Matthew Dunford of Farnfields presented the hedgehog house to Warminster Town Council’s estates manager Kevin Whitehorn, councillor Stacie Allensby, and grounds team member James Sully.

Mr Whitehorn said: "This is a lovely idea.

"We’re delighted to accept this new hedgehog home as we continue to work alongside local businesses to improve our community spaces."

A spokesperson for Farnfields Solicitors said: "We hope these small habitats bring joy to the outdoor space and help local wildlife thrive."

The hedgehog house has been installed in Elizabeth Collyns Garden within the Lake Pleasure Grounds.

Farnfields Solicitors is located at 37 High Street, Warminster.
