We'll be back with the news, sport, travel and weather from 07:00 on Monday.
The Severn Hospice has suffered a break-in at another of its charity shops - the third in the last fortnight.
The burglars smashed their way in to the store on Market Square in Wellington last night, taking a small quantity of cash from the safe.
It follows the raid on the charity's shop in Lawley on Monday and in Shifnal the Monday before that.
Retail manager Ross Henderson said having to close the stores to fix the damage was "infuriating" and said they'd be taking steps to make their shops appear less inviting for burglars.

We're forecast a chilly night and there could be more rain tomorrow.
Here's your forecast:
Burglars have raided AFC Bridgnorth football club and taken cash, a lottery machine and a large amount of beer, wine and spirits.
The club's chairman, Mark Weale, said they'd "lost the lot" and had to go out today to restock the bar for a 40th birthday party tonight - a cost he said they could "ill afford".
Mr Weale said: "We're an amateur football club who are run by volunteers, so we don't have substantial income over what we take over the bar."
He said security cameras didn't show any vehicle, but the burglars must have had a vehicle to transport the drinks.

Here are three of the stories from the Coventry Telegraph's website today:

Money could be spent on a Roman ruin near Coventry, in an attempt to boost flagging visitor numbers.
Lunt fort, at the village of Baginton was established around 60AD, during Queen Boudica's uprising and includes what could be the only remaining example of a Roman horse-training circle.
But a report to Coventry City Council said visitor numbers last summer fell by nearly 2,000 to just 5,345 - and that included around 5,000 children on educational trips.
The report to the council’s scrutiny board this week said there was a plan to reconstruct the ramparts and entrance tower and the authority said it would investigate sources of funding.
The chair of the committee, Councillor Richard Brown, said visitor numbers were "on a massive slide and we need to do something about it".
More flood warnings, external have been issued in Worcestershire, covering parts of the rivers Avon, Teme and Severn.
There is another for the River Dene in Warwickshire.
The Environment Agency said it expected levels to continue to rise and the rivers will probably reach their peak tomorrow.
Flood alerts are in place for rivers across Shropshire, Herefordshire, Warwickshire and Staffordshire.

Coventry Blaze will be without Canadian forward David Broll for this weekend's matches against Guildford Flames, but the injury to his foot isn't as bad as first feared.
It was thought he'd broken a bone while blocking a shot against Manchester Storm, but instead it's heavy bruising and he's only likely to miss a couple of weeks.
Telford Tigers are looking to strengthen position at the top of the National League table with wins over two rivals from last season - Hull Pirates and Sheffield Steeldogs.
And at the half-way point of the season, head coach Tom Watkins said: "I can’t help but think these boys have overachieved even my own expectations, considering the number of injuries we have had over a six to eight-week period."
Ambulance crews are expecting to deal with a lot of alcohol-related calls on the last Friday before Christmas.
So called Mad Friday is one of the busiest NHS days of the year for alcohol related ilnesses and injuries.
Last year it made £300,000 available for so-called drunk tanks where inebriated revellers can be checked and allowed to sleep it off.
Tony Sutton is on duty for West Midlands Ambulance Service tonight in Stoke-on-Trent and said: "What really gets me is I'm there with somebody. I'm babysitting a 19 to 25-year-old where potentially there's a poorly child out there in Stoke who needs me."
The NHS pays for a five-bed "intoxication unit" in the city, for people to sleep off the effects of alcohol, if paramedics decide they are too drunk to safely go home by themselves.
Developers have had a change of heart over plans to close off a Shrewsbury street.
People living on Beacalls Lane complained when the RGB Group and Shropshire Council agreed it should close to allow an old school to be converted into flats.
But, following talks, the local councillor, Alan Mosley said there had been an agreement to limit the width of the scaffolding and only use it for window-installation.
There will still need to be some restrictions on traffic and some temporary closure, but Mr Mosley said he thought it was a "reasonable outcome with minimum possible disruption".
Simultaneous services were held for Jack Merritt and Saskia Jones, who were stabbed last month.
