There are two answers: "entertainment" and "entertainments". How can that be?

Well, the word "entertainment" is one of those nouns that can be used in two ways, with subtly different meanings.

# "Entertainment" can be an abstract noun, like "happiness". In this form, the word roughly means "enjoyment". You might switch on the TV hoping for some entertainment. But if you find two programs enjoyable, you cannot talk of having found two entertainments, any more than you can talk of two happinesses. In this sense, entertainment has no plural form, just like "happiness" and "fun".

# Entertainment can also have a more concrete form, in which it refers to a particular offering, like a show in a theater, or a concert. The word usually refers to an organized, structured affair. If you go to two shows, you could say that you have been to see two entertainments.

So there are two answers. But you have to treat the two forms of the word differently, because one is a non-count noun, and the other is a countable one. You could describe a town as offering "plenty of entertainment", or as putting on "many entertainments".
