A popular retailer in Newark has announced it will shut up shop for Boxing Day.
Wilko, in St Mark's Place, has announced it will not open on December 26 — giving staff the day off to spend with their families.
A spokesman said: "As a family-owned retailer, Wilko understands the importance of spending quality time with loved ones and after such a difficult year.
"Wilko has decided to give all its team members a day off on December 26 to spend with their families this Christmas."
Wilko follows several retailers and supermarkets that have also decided to close on Boxing Day.
These include Morrisons, Aldi, Home Bargains, Sainsbury's, Poundland and Marks and Spencer.
