Betfred Bristol Road South, Northfield opening times
Betfred, Unit 2, 750-752 Bristol Road South, Birmingham, B31 2NN. Licensed by Birmingham City Council, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.
This Betfred trades from a unit on Bristol Road South in the middle of Northfield, the main shopping centre for the south-west of the city. It sees steady passing trade from shoppers and from the buses running along the A38. Like most Betfred branches, it trades until 22:00 seven days a week.
| Day | Opens | Closes | Time open |
|---|
Why 22:00? Betting premises licences in England and Wales carry a default condition under the Gambling Act 2005 that bars gambling between 22:00 and 07:00 unless the licensing authority removes it, which is why most high-street bookmakers close at 22:00. Individual branch times can still change at short notice, so check before a late trip.

| Day | Opening times | Notes |

Bank holiday opening times
Betting shops in England and Wales may trade on every bank holiday, with one exception. Under the Gambling Act 2005, every betting premises licence carries a condition that the premises cannot be used to provide gambling facilities on Christmas Day, so this shop is closed on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
The tables below show the pattern Betfred Bristol Road South, Northfield usually follows, from Easter to New Year.

How the live opening times panel works
The panel at the top of this page reads the clock in the UK and compares it against this shop’s trading times, so the status, the closing time and the countdown are always current. It runs on the same times published in the tables above. Three things are worth knowing about how it behaves.
What the status means
When the panel shows Open, the current UK time falls inside today’s trading times. Closed means it does not, and the countdown then runs to the next opening instead of the next close. Within the final hour, keep an eye on the countdown.
Last bets and settling up
Cash betting at the counter stops a few minutes before the published close while staff settle slips and cash up. If you have winnings to collect at Betfred Bristol Road South, Northfield, get there at least ten minutes before closing.
