Before you travel: times at individual Betfred shops can change at short notice for staffing, refurbishment or big sporting fixtures. Ring the shop or check the Betfred store finder if you are making a special trip late in the evening.

| Weekday | Opening times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Steady footfall from the surrounding shops keeps queues short. |
| Tuesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Daytime shoppers, then evening greyhounds and all-weather racing. |

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.
On all other bank holidays, Betfred branches generally run either their normal times or a shortened day. The tables below set out what to expect at Betfred Wigan Road.
Easter opening times
There are no legal restrictions on betting shops opening over Easter in Great Britain: Good Friday trading has been allowed since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force. Expect normal times across the four days.
| Day | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good Friday | Friday before Easter Sunday | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
| Easter Saturday | Saturday before Easter Sunday | — | 08:30 – 22:00 |
| Easter Sunday | First Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March | — | 09:30 – 22:00 |
| Easter Monday | Day after Easter Sunday | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
Good Friday racing in Britain dates from 2014, when the All-Weather Championships Finals Day was first run on it, so there is an afternoon card to follow. Easter Monday is one of the biggest jumps days of the spring, with several meetings running at once.
May bank holiday opening times
May has two bank holidays and the shop treats both as ordinary Mondays, opening at 09:00 and closing at 22:00.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early May bank holiday | First Monday in May | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
| Spring bank holiday | Last Monday in May | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
August bank holiday opening times
The August bank holiday brings a full racing programme and, most years, Premier League football, so the afternoon is the busiest part of the day.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summer bank holiday | Last Monday in August | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
Christmas opening times
The Christmas fortnight is the one stretch of the year when times at this shop genuinely differ from the weekly pattern. Christmas Day is a legally enforced closure. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve usually finish early, and the days between Christmas and New Year run close to normal because 26 and 27 December are two of the biggest racing days of the year.
| Day | Date | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas Eve | 24 December | — | 09:00 – 18:00 |
| Christmas Day | 25 December | — | Closed all day |
| Boxing Day | 26 December | — | 09:00 – 20:00 |
| 27 to 30 December | Between the holidays | — | Normal times, close 20:00 – 22:00 |
| Substitute bank holiday | When 25 or 26 December falls on a weekend | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
| New Year's Eve | 31 December | — | 09:00 – 18:00 |
| New Year's Day | 1 January | — | 10:00 – 20:00 |
Christmas Eve
The shop opens at the normal time on Christmas Eve and closes early, typically around 18:00. Last cash bets are taken a little before that, and the shop empties quickly once the racing finishes.
Boxing Day
Boxing Day is the biggest day of the year for high-street bookmakers, built around the King George VI Chase at Kempton and a card of meetings across the country. The shop opens as normal and closes a little earlier, around 20:00.
New Year opening times
New Year’s Eve
New Year’s Eve mirrors Christmas Eve: a standard morning open with an early evening close, usually around 18:00. If you want a bet on the evening football or the New Year’s Day cards, place it during the afternoon.
New Year’s Day
New Year’s Day runs to a shortened timetable, typically 10:00 to 20:00, with a busy card of jumps racing through the afternoon.
Festive times vary slightly from branch to branch. Betfred Wigan Road normally puts its Christmas times in the window from mid-December; check them, or the Betfred store finder, before a trip on 24, 26 or 31 December.
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
The flag reads Open during published trading times and Closed outside them. While the shop is closed, the countdown shows the time until it next opens; while it is open, it shows the time until closing, which matters most in the last hour.
Last bets and settling up
Plan to arrive a little before the published close: counters stop taking cash bets shortly beforehand, and paying out winnings takes time too.
Getting there
The three buttons at the top of the page open Google Maps: the first drops a pin on the shop, the second builds a route from wherever you are standing, and the third loads Street View so you can see the area before you set off. Buses along Wigan Road run into Bolton town centre in about fifteen minutes and west towards Hindley and Wigan. Lostock station is a little over a mile north-west.
