Betfred Park Road opening times
Betfred, 5 Park Road, Brighton, BN1 9AA. Licensed by Brighton and Hove City Council, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.
This Betfred is on Park Road on the northern edge of Brighton, above the Lewes Road valley. It is a neighbourhood shop, and Albion home games bring extra trade through the area. It keeps standard Betfred high-street times, with a 22:00 close every night.
| Day | Opens | Closes | Time open |
|---|
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
The shop keeps the same 09:00 to 22:00 times every weekday.
| Weekday | Opening times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Short queues all day, with a small rush for the afternoon racing. |
| Tuesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Evening greyhound and all-weather racing runs through to close. |
| Wednesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Busy on Brighton and Hove Albion midweek home nights, with fans passing before and after games at the Amex Stadium. |
| Thursday | 09:00 – 22:00 | A quiet afternoon, livening up for Thursday-night football. |
| Friday | 09:00 – 22:00 | The fullest weekday: coupons for Saturday go on from lunchtime. |
Weekend opening times
The weekend times bookend the weekday pattern: 08:30 on Saturday, 09:30 on Sunday.
| Day | Opening times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 08:30 – 22:00 | The week’s busiest day, from the morning racing to the late football. |
| Sunday | 09:30 – 22:00 | Opens at 09:30; Sunday football dominates the screens. |
Saturday is comfortably the busiest day at this branch. If you want a machine or a seat for the afternoon racing, arriving before midday makes a real difference. On Brighton and Hove Albion home matchdays Lewes Road and the roads towards Falmer is very busy for a couple of hours either side of kick-off at the Amex Stadium, so allow extra time.
Bank holiday opening times
There is only one day of the year when this shop cannot open: Christmas Day. Every betting premises licence issued under the Gambling Act 2005 carries a condition barring gambling on 25 December. Every other bank holiday is a trading day.
Outside Christmas Day, a bank holiday at Betfred Park Road is either a normal trading day or a slightly shorter one. The detail is set out below.
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 |
British racing on Good Friday is now a fixture, with the All-Weather Championships finals run on it since 2014, and Easter Monday brings a packed programme of jumps meetings, so both days are lively in the shop.
May bank holiday opening times
Both May bank holidays, the first Monday and the last Monday of the month, run on normal Monday times at Betfred Park Road.
| 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
There is nothing unusual about the late August bank holiday here: the shop opens at 09:00 and closes at 22:00, with racing and, in most seasons, football through the afternoon.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summer bank holiday | Last Monday in August | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
Christmas opening times
Christmas and New Year are when the times here change. The shop cannot open on Christmas Day, closes early on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, and trades near-normal days in between, when some of the biggest meetings of the winter are staged.
| 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
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
A normal morning start and an early finish at around 18:00. Bets for the New Year’s Day racing are best placed in the afternoon.
New Year’s Day
On 1 January, Betfred Park Road normally opens around 10:00 and closes around 20:00. There is a full jumps racing programme, so it is a proper trading day, just a shorter one.
Bank holiday times listed here reflect the pattern Betfred shops locally usually follow. Individual branches set their own festive times and a card is normally posted in the window from around mid-December. Check that card or the Betfred store finder before travelling 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
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 Park Road, get there at least ten minutes before closing.
Getting there
Three Google Maps shortcuts sit at the top of the page: a pin on the shop, directions from your current location, and a Street View preview of the street. Buses along Lewes Road run into the city centre in about fifteen minutes and out to Falmer. Moulsecoomb station is about a mile away, with Falmer, beside the stadium, a little further east.
