Bootle is a four-shop town with a clear pecking order. Stanley Road is the flagship: 08:00 to 22:00 six days a week and the only branch in the town that holds 22:00 on a Sunday. Netherton matches it on weekdays but pulls in half an hour at the weekend. Hawthorne Road and Orrell Road run shorter neighbourhood hours, 09:00 to 21:00 and 09:00 to 20:00, and both start an hour later on a Sunday. Full published weekly times are available for every branch, so every countdown on this page is the shop’s own.

Every Betfred in this list carries its own published weekly times. Stanley Road and Hawthorne Road sit about half a mile apart on either side of the town centre, and Orrell Road is a mile further north towards Litherland. The fourth branch, in Netherton, has its own section below. Distances are straight-line estimates from the Strand. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.
Bootle Betfred opening times compared
The full weekly pattern for all four branches in one table. Today’s column is highlighted.
Three of the four keep identical hours Monday to Saturday, which makes Bootle one of the simpler towns to plan around: Stanley Road on 08:00 to 22:00, Hawthorne Road on 09:00 to 21:00 and Orrell Road on 09:00 to 20:00. Netherton is the exception, trimming half an hour off its Saturday and Sunday evenings. Sunday is the only day any branch shifts its opening time, and it splits two and two: Stanley Road and Netherton at 09:00, Hawthorne Road and Orrell Road at 10:00.

Earliest and latest Betfred shops in Bootle
Full weekly times are published for all four branches, so this section covers every shop on the page.
Open earliest
322 Stanley Road is the earliest in the town on every day of the week: 08:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 on a Sunday. Netherton follows at 08:30 on weekdays and Saturdays, with Hawthorne Road and Orrell Road both starting at 09:00. Nothing in Bootle opens before 08:00.
Open latest
Stanley Road and Netherton both trade until 22:00 on weekdays. Hawthorne Road closes at 21:00 and Orrell Road at 20:00. After 21:00 on a weekday evening it is Stanley Road or Netherton, and after 21:30 on a Sunday, Stanley Road is the only Betfred open in the town.
The one to remember: 322 Stanley Road runs 08:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 22:00 on a Sunday — fourteen hours a day, six days a week, and the only 22:00 Sunday finish in Bootle.
Betfred Bootle Sunday opening times
Sunday is the day the four branches separate most clearly, with three hours between the earliest and latest closing times.
| Shop | Opens | Closes | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stanley Road322 Stanley Road, L20 3ET | 09:00 | 22:00 | |
| Netherton (Marian Square)14–15 The Marian Square, L30 5QA | 09:00 | 21:30 | |
| Hawthorne Road416 Hawthorne Road, L20 9AY | 10:00 | 20:00 | |
| Orrell Road21 Orrell Road, L20 6DU | 10:00 | 19:00 |
Stanley Road opens at 09:00 and runs to 22:00, thirteen hours; Netherton is close behind on 09:00 to 21:30. Hawthorne Road and Orrell Road both wait until 10:00 and close at 20:00 and 19:00, so they trade ten and nine hours. For the Sunday evening football, the town centre and Netherton are the two to aim for.
Betfred Bootle bank holiday opening times
Betting shops in England can trade on every bank holiday bar one. Premises licences issued under the Gambling Act 2005 carry a condition that gambling facilities cannot be provided on Christmas Day, so all four Bootle branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, Bootle branches usually run either their normal times for that day of the week or a slightly shorter day. Betfred has in past years announced a chain-wide 20:00 close on bank holiday Mondays, which would cut two hours off Stanley Road and Netherton. Dates in the tables below update automatically.
Easter opening times
Betting shops have been allowed to open on Good Friday since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force, and there is no Easter Sunday restriction in Great Britain. Easter matters more here than in most towns: the Grand National at Aintree, two miles from Netherton, falls in early April and is the busiest betting day of the year on Merseyside.
| Day | Falls on | Next date | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good Friday | Friday before Easter Sunday | — | Normal weekday times |
| Easter Saturday | Saturday before Easter Sunday | — | Normal Saturday times |
| Easter Sunday | First Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March | — | Normal Sunday times |
| Easter Monday | Day after Easter Sunday | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
May and August bank holidays
The early May, spring and summer bank holidays all fall on a Monday. Check the window card or the Betfred shop finder the week before, particularly at Stanley Road and Netherton where an early close makes the biggest difference.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early May bank holiday | First Monday in May | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
| Spring bank holiday | Last Monday in May | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
| Summer bank holiday | Last Monday in August | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
Christmas and New Year opening times
The festive fortnight is the only stretch of the year when Bootle times move far from the weekly pattern. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve normally finish early, Boxing Day — the biggest racing day of the winter — runs close to normal, and New Year’s Day starts later.
| Day | Date | Next date | Usual pattern in Bootle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas Eve | 24 December | — | Normal opening, early close around 18:00 |
| Christmas Day | 25 December | — | Closed all day, every shop |
| Boxing Day | 26 December | — | Normal opening, close around 20:00 |
| Substitute bank holiday | When 25 or 26 December falls on a weekend | — | Normal times for that day |
| New Year’s Eve | 31 December | — | Normal opening, early close around 18:00 |
| New Year’s Day | 1 January | — | Later start around 10:00, close around 20:00 |
Each Bootle branch sets its own festive times and usually posts them in the window from mid-December. The Netherton shop sits in the Marian Square precinct and may also follow the centre’s own festive hours. The live countdowns on this page follow the standard weekly times and the Christmas Day closure only, so check the window card before travelling on 24, 26 or 31 December or 1 January.
How the live opening times work
Everything live on this page reads the clock in Bootle (UK time), not the clock on your device, and compares it against each shop’s published times. That keeps the status right even if you are checking from abroad.
The panel at the top
The top panel covers the three Betfred branches within two miles of the Strand. It tells you how many are open right now, which is next to close, and how long until the last one shuts for the night. After the last close it switches to counting down to the first shop opening the next morning.
The shop rows
Open now means the shop is inside its published times and the countdown shows how long is left. Closed shows when it opens next. Counters stop taking cash bets a few minutes before closing so staff can settle slips, so if you are collecting winnings, aim to arrive ten minutes before the time shown.
Map, directions and Street View
Each row has three buttons. Map drops a pin on the shop, Directions plans a route from wherever you are, and Street View shows the street around the shop so you can spot the frontage before you set off. Tap “Use my current location” and the lists re-order themselves so the closest shop is always at the top, and the directions button points to the nearest of all four branches, Netherton included.
Betfred in Netherton
The fourth branch sits in the Marian Square precinct in Netherton, about three miles north of the Strand. It publishes full weekly times like the rest, so its live status is as exact as the town shops’.
Betfred in Netherton 1 shop
-
Betfred, Netherton (Marian Square)14–15 The Marian Square, Netherton, Bootle L30 5QA
Netherton runs 08:30 to 22:00 on weekdays, 08:30 to 21:30 on a Saturday and 09:00 to 21:30 on a Sunday, which makes it the second-strongest shop in the town and the best option north of the canal. It is also the closest of the four to Aintree racecourse, roughly a mile and a half away, and there is a William Hill on Park Lane less than a mile from it.
Betfred near Bootle
Bootle runs straight into north Liverpool, and most of the branches around it are listed under Liverpool or under their own town names rather than under Bootle.
The closest are the Walton pair on County Road and Hale Road, both about a mile from Hawthorne Road, and Anfield’s Oakfield Road shop two miles south. Northwards there are branches at Waterloo on South Road, Litherland, Crosby and Fazakerley on Longmoor Lane. Liverpool itself, covered on its own page, has 32 branches, and the city centre is about four miles down Stanley Road.
All four Bootle shops are licensed by Sefton Council rather than Liverpool City Council, even though their postal addresses sometimes read Liverpool. If you are heading for Walton or Litherland rather than Bootle itself, use the location button above: the directions button always routes to the nearest of the four Bootle branches, which may not be the nearest Betfred overall.
Other bookmakers in Bootle
For a town of its size, Bootle has an unusually crowded betting market, and William Hill rather than Betfred is the biggest name in it.
William Hill has shops at 255–257 Stanley Road, 90 Linacre Lane, the Palatine in the Strand, 104 Sefton Road in Litherland and 105 Park Lane in Netherton. Ladbrokes trades at 286–288 Stanley Road and 35–37 Hawthorne Road, both within a few hundred yards of a Betfred, and Coral has a shop at 124–126 Knowsley Road. There is also a long-standing independent, David Pluck, on Stanley Road — one of the few remaining family bookmakers on Merseyside.
We are still confirming full weekly times branch by branch for the non-Betfred shops in Bootle, so they are not listed with live status on this page yet. Stanley Road is the street to know: the Betfred at 322, a Ladbrokes at 286–288, a William Hill at 255–257 and the independent at 307 are all within about a quarter of a mile. Every bookmaker in the town is closed on Christmas Day by law.
About Betfred in Bootle

Betfred began in Salford in 1967, when brothers Fred and Peter Done opened their first betting shop, and it runs its estate from Birchwood in Warrington, about twenty miles east. Bootle’s four shops follow the old dock-road streets rather than a single high street: Stanley Road and Hawthorne Road either side of the town centre, Orrell Road towards Litherland, and Marian Square out in Netherton. Three are within two miles of the Strand, and all four are licensed by Sefton Council, which also covers the Southport and Formby branches further up the coast.
For travellers, 322 Stanley Road is the one to know: about half a mile from the Strand and Bootle New Strand station, on the Merseyrail Northern line into Liverpool Central, and the only branch in the town open until 22:00 seven days a week. For the Grand National, the Netherton shop is the closest of the four to Aintree, and Fazakerley and Walton branches are nearer still if you are coming from the Liverpool side.
