A popular County Durham play-café will be sold due to "unforeseen personal circumstances".
Petite Street Playtown, situated in Meadowfield, Durham, announced the closure in a Facebook post today (Tuesday, August 11).
It said: "It is with a heavy heart that, due to unforeseen personal circumstances, we have made the incredibly difficult decision to sell Petite Street Playtown.
"This has not been an easy decision, and we are so grateful to every family who has supported us, celebrated with us, and helped create so many wonderful memories over time.
"Petite Street Playtown is a well-established and much-loved business with fantastic potential for someone looking to continue its journey."
The post was met with sadness from customers.
One user wrote: "This is so sad, I know how much effort and love you have put into the business.
"It won't be the same without you."
