HUNDREDS of knitted angels from as far afield as Ireland and Yorkshire are set to land in Mere this month (December) in a Christmas mystery.

The festive visitors will be landing around the village on December 1, 8, 15 and 22.

It is hoped people will find them while out and about, before taking them home and giving them names.

The only clues available so far indicate they could end up on benches, in hedges, at bus stops and more locations around Mere.

A spokesperson for the mystery makers of the angels said: “People have been busy knitting little angels since the summer and member of the congregation from St Michael’s Church have been attaching labels to them, so they are all ready for the drop.

“The angels have been knitted for people of any age to find, take home, give a name and bring to the crib service on Christmas Eve.

“It is hoped that not only will people come with their angel, but the knitters will also come along so that they get to meet each other.”

If you find an angel, send a picture of you with them to newsdesk@blackmorevale.net.
