A KIND-hearted stranger has been n brightenin­g people’s days in n Cleethorpe­s by creating a fairy villlage.

As many as 20 fairy, elf and pixie e doors have popped up in Cleethorpe­s Country Park during the third lockdown.

Each door has a different design n and its very own house number to o make them easier to keep track of. Members of We Love Cleethorth­or- pes on Facebook have been n sharing their pictures of the doors, saying they’re a “love act of kindness and fun”.

One member said: “I set off f on my misty, foggy, pre-work k walk and came across these e doors in Cleethorpe­s Country y Park.

“Thank you for making me e smile whoever made these – or was it really the fairies?” Families have begun “fairy y door hunting” while carrying g out their daily exercise, saying ng it’s a “great encouragem­ent for or children to have a walk”.

One user said on Facebook: “Posting for a friend who wants to remain anonymous.

“The elves and fairies have moved into Cleethorpe­s Country Park. “They are living in the trees and shown by their little doors. “There are 20 of them (numbered 1 to 20) randomly scattered around the trees at the entrance to the park. “Can your children or grandchild­ren spot them all? A nice little exercise for when the weather is fine.”

It appears fairies have been popping up in other parts of Cleethorpe­s too, as another person claims to have spotted them outside Cleethorpe­s Library.

She said: “If you look outside Cleethorpe­s library, there’s a mini library at the front and a fairy door at the side – inside the blue railings. The fairy library has light on at night.”
