The announcement said: "After many unforgettable years, we’re sad to share that The Gingerbread Man will be closing its doors for the final time on July 3 and the Wacky Warehouse unfortunately closed its doors for the final time on Sunday, June 22.

"This has not been an easy decision, and we want to thank every single one of you who’s walked through our doors - for the pints, the laughs, the stories, and the memories.

"From all of us here - thank you for being part of our journey. You’ll always be part of the The Gingerbread Man's family.

"From me to my team, you've all been amazing and have made the years one to remember. We may be closing the doors but I've walked away with a second family."
