Is there any way I can attract hedgehogs to my garden, is it just luck or is there anything that I can do to entice them?

It's always welcome when someone wants to help hedgehogs. As Dove says, access to your garden is the most important thing. They need holes in fences etc. cut to the size of a CD. The other thing to bear in mind is that they need access to as many gardens as possible as they can cover large distances every night, so if you think your neighbours may be happy to help, then spread the word.
You'll find lots of information on the British Hedgehog Preservation Society website
