Yeovil is one of 37 WHSmith High Street stores set to open a new shop-in-shop from Toys'R'Us before Christmas. Taunton's Toys'R'Us shop-in-shop opened in August.

"WHSmith is known for being the Hub of the High Street by providing customers with a range of great products and services.

"Partnering with Toys'R'Us gives us a leading toys and games range in our stores and means customers have even more reasons to shop with us. We look forward to welcoming many more customers into our store."
