Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve is a normal opening time with an early finish, typically around 18:00, so staff can get away for the evening. The last cash bets go on well before then. It is a full racing day, so the shop is often busy through the middle of the afternoon before emptying out sharply.
Boxing Day
Expect a normal opening time on Boxing Day and an earlier close at around 20:00. With the King George VI Chase at Kempton and meetings across the country, the afternoon is very busy.
New Year opening times
New Year’s Eve
On New Year’s Eve, Betfred Main Street, Sauchie opens at its usual time and closes early, generally around 18:00. Bets on the next day’s racing are best placed in the afternoon.
New Year’s Day
New Year’s Day is a bank holiday with a later start than usual, typically around 10:00, and an earlier close in the evening. There is a full jumps racing card, so the shop is open and trading, just on a compressed day.

How the live opening times panel works
The live panel checks UK time against the trading times in the tables above, so the open or closed status, today’s closing time and the countdown update every second. Here is how to read it.
What the status means
Open means the shop is inside its published trading times right now. Closed means it is outside them, and the countdown switches to show how long until the doors open again. If the shop is due to close within the hour, the countdown is the number to watch.
Last bets and settling up
Counters stop taking cash bets a few minutes before the published closing time so staff can settle the day’s slips and cash up. If you are collecting winnings, aim to be in the shop at least ten minutes before close.
Getting there
Tap the Google Maps buttons at the top to see where the shop is, get directions from where you are, or look at the street in Street View before you set off. Buses along Main Street run into Alloa in a few minutes and east to Tillicoultry and Dollar. Alloa station is about a mile south, with trains to Stirling and Glasgow.
