TOY retailer The Entertainer has said it will temporarily close seven of its shops in England due to the coronavirus lockdown.
The rest of the chain will be open for click and collect, so customers need not worry if they are planning on doing some early Christmas shopping.

The list of shops that are to close over the next four weeks is:
