Bury is the one Greater Manchester town on this site with no 22:00 Betfred. Silver Street in the town centre is the earliest open and the latest closed at 08:30 to 21:30, and it holds that closing time seven days a week — ninety minutes later than anything else in the borough. The three suburban shops all open half an hour earlier on a Saturday than midweek, and three of the five do not open until 10:00 on a Sunday. Full published weekly times are available for every branch, so every countdown on this page is the shop’s own.
The 4 Betfred shops in Bury town
Every Betfred within two miles of the town centre, ordered by distance from the Market Place. Each row shows today’s times, whether the shop is open now and how long until it closes, with buttons for the map pin, a route from where you are and Street View of the shopfront.

Every Betfred in this list carries its own published weekly times. Silver Street is the only town-centre branch, a couple of minutes from the Interchange, the Market and the Rock; the other three sit on the roads out — Walmersley Road north, Manchester Road south towards Gigg Lane and Tottington Road west at Woolfold. Distances are straight-line estimates from the Market Place. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.
Bury Betfred opening times compared
The full weekly pattern for all five branches in one table. Today’s column is highlighted.
Manchester Road and Tottington Road share an identical week: 09:00 to 20:00 on weekdays, 08:30 to 20:00 on a Saturday and 10:00 to 18:00 on a Sunday. Walmersley Road matches them on the Saturday but runs an hour later on weekdays and two hours later on a Sunday. Silver Street and Ramsbottom are the two that keep the same hours Monday to Saturday, and Silver Street is the only branch whose Sunday closing time matches its weekday one.

Earliest and latest Betfred shops in Bury
Full weekly times are published for all five branches, so this section covers every shop on the page.
Open earliest
7 Silver Street opens at 08:30 on weekdays, the earliest in the borough, and holds that time on a Saturday. The other four open at 09:00 midweek, but Walmersley Road, Manchester Road and Tottington Road all move to 08:30 on a Saturday, so on a Saturday morning four of the five are open by half past eight. Nothing in Bury opens before 08:30 on any day.
Open latest
Silver Street is the latest at 21:30, and unusually it keeps that time all seven days. Walmersley Road and Ramsbottom close at 21:00 on weekdays, and Manchester Road and Tottington Road at 20:00. No Bury branch trades until 22:00 — the only town in Greater Manchester covered on this site where that is true, and worth knowing if you are used to the Bolton or Manchester estates.
The one to remember: 7 Silver Street runs 08:30 to 21:30 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 21:30 on a Sunday. It is the only Betfred in the borough open past 21:00 on any day, and on a Sunday evening it is the only one open after 20:00.
Betfred Bury Sunday opening times
Sunday is the shortest day across the borough. Three of the five do not open until 10:00, and two of those close at 18:00.
| Shop | Opens | Closes | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silver Street (town centre)7 Silver Street, BL9 0EU | 09:00 | 21:30 | |
| Ramsbottom (Bridge Street)11 Bridge Street, BL0 9AB | 09:30 | 20:00 | |
| Walmersley Road168 Walmersley Road, BL9 6LL | 10:00 | 20:00 | |
| Manchester Road203 Manchester Road, BL9 9HL | 10:00 | 18:00 | |
| Woolfold (Tottington Road)322 Tottington Road, BL8 1TA | 10:00 | 18:00 |
Silver Street is the clear pick on a Sunday: open from 09:00 and trading until 21:30, twelve and a half hours. Walmersley Road and Ramsbottom close at 20:00, and Manchester Road and Tottington Road at 18:00 — before a late Premier League kick-off has finished being settled. If you are out towards Woolfold or Gigg Lane on a Sunday evening, the town centre is the only option.
Betfred Bury 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 five Bury branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, Bury 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 in Bury would only shorten Silver Street, Walmersley Road and Ramsbottom — the other two already close at 20:00. 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. Across the Easter weekend, expect each Bury branch to follow its usual pattern for that day. The Grand National at Aintree, about 35 miles west, falls in early April and is the busiest betting day of the year in the North West.
| 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 Silver Street 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 Bury 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 Bury |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 Bury branch sets its own festive times and usually posts them in the window from mid-December. 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. Bury Market trades on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and the town centre is busiest on those days.
How the live opening times work
Everything live on this page reads the clock in Bury (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 four Betfred branches within two miles of the town centre. 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 five branches, Ramsbottom included.
Betfred in Ramsbottom
The fifth branch sits on Bridge Street in Ramsbottom, about four miles up the Irwell valley from Bury town centre. It carries a Bury postal address and a Bury Council licence, and it publishes full weekly times like the rest.
Betfred in Ramsbottom 1 shop
-
Betfred, Ramsbottom (Bridge Street)11 Bridge Street, Ramsbottom, Bury BL0 9AB
Ramsbottom runs 09:00 to 21:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:30 to 20:00 on a Sunday, which makes it the second-latest closing branch in the borough and the only one outside the town centre open past 20:00 on a weekday. It is a couple of minutes from the East Lancashire Railway station and the Bridge Street shops, and the nearest Betfred to Edenfield, Holcombe Brook and the Rossendale border.
Betfred near Bury
Bury sits between Bolton, Rochdale and north Manchester, and the branches around it are listed under their own towns rather than under Bury.
The closest are Whitefield, which has two shops at Elms Square and Victoria Square, and Radcliffe on Water Street, both about two to three miles south. Prestwich on Fairfax Road, Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale ring the borough beyond them, and Bolton — covered on its own page, with seven branches — is eight miles west. Manchester city centre is nine miles south down the Metrolink line.
The Whitefield and Radcliffe shops are licensed by Bury Council like the five on this page, even though their postal addresses read Manchester. If you are heading for Whitefield, Radcliffe or Prestwich rather than Bury itself, use the location button above: the directions button always routes to the nearest of the five Bury-addressed branches, which may not be the nearest Betfred overall.
Other bookmakers in Bury
Bury town centre has fewer betting shops than most Greater Manchester towns of its size, and Betfred is comfortably the biggest name in it.
William Hill trades at 1/3 Market Place, about a hundred yards from the Silver Street Betfred and the only other bookmaker in the town centre. Coral has a shop at 319 Bolton Road towards Bury Bridge, roughly a mile from Silver Street and a little over a mile from the Manchester Road Betfred. Beyond the town, Coral trades on Bury New Road in Prestwich, William Hill on Blackburn Street in Radcliffe, and both brands have shops in Heywood.
We are still confirming full weekly times branch by branch for the non-Betfred shops in Bury, so they are not listed with live status on this page yet. The William Hill on Market Place is the one to know: it is the nearest alternative to Silver Street, and directory listings suggest it trades later in the evening than any Betfred in the borough. Every bookmaker in the town is closed on Christmas Day by law.
About Betfred in Bury
| Trading name | Betfred |
|---|---|
| Licensee | Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited |
| Head office | Birchwood, Warrington |
| Licensing authority | Bury Council |
| Branches with a Bury address | 5 betting shops |
| Licensed premises hours | 07:00 – 22:00, Monday to Sunday |
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. Bury is a compact operation: one town-centre shop on Silver Street and three on the roads out, plus Ramsbottom up the valley. What stands out is the hours. Bury Council licenses these premises for 07:00 to 22:00 every day, but no branch in the borough uses the full window — the latest closes at 21:30 and two shut at 20:00, which makes Bury the earliest-closing Greater Manchester town on this site.
For travellers, 7 Silver Street is the one to know: a couple of minutes from Bury Interchange, where the Metrolink trams to Manchester and the bus station meet, and right by the Market and the Rock. On matchdays at Gigg Lane, home of Bury FC, 203 Manchester Road is the nearest branch at about three quarters of a mile. The Ramsbottom shop sits near the East Lancashire Railway station, and Walmersley Road covers the northern suburbs towards Nangreaves.
Frequently asked questions
- How many Betfred shops are there in Bury?
- Five Betfred branches carry a Bury address, all licensed by Bury Council: Silver Street in the town centre, Walmersley Road, Manchester Road and Tottington Road at Woolfold, plus Bridge Street in Ramsbottom four miles up the Irwell valley. Whitefield, Radcliffe, Prestwich and Heywood have branches listed under their own names or under Manchester.
- What time does Betfred open in Bury?
- Silver Street in the town centre is the earliest, opening at 08:30 on weekdays. The other four open at 09:00, though Walmersley Road, Manchester Road and Tottington Road all bring that forward to 08:30 on a Saturday. Sunday is the latest start of the week: Silver Street at 09:00, Ramsbottom at 09:30 and the other three at 10:00.
- What time does Betfred close in Bury?
- Silver Street is the latest, closing at 21:30 every day of the week. Walmersley Road and Ramsbottom close at 21:00 on weekdays, and Manchester Road and Tottington Road at 20:00. Nothing in Bury trades until 22:00, which is unusual for a Greater Manchester town.
- Which Betfred in Bury is open latest on a Sunday?
- 7 Silver Street, which trades 09:00 to 21:30 — the same closing time it keeps all week, and ninety minutes later than anything else in the borough. Walmersley Road and Ramsbottom close at 20:00, and Manchester Road and Tottington Road at 18:00.
- Is Betfred open on Christmas Day?
- No. Every betting shop in Great Britain is closed on Christmas Day. It is a condition attached to premises licences under the Gambling Act 2005, not a company decision. Bury Council’s register shows these branches licensed to trade 07:00 to 22:00 Monday to Sunday, but the Christmas Day restriction still applies.

- Yes. Good Friday, Easter Monday and the May and August bank holidays are all trading days, usually on normal or slightly shortened hours. Betfred has in past years announced a chain-wide 20:00 close on bank holiday Mondays, which in Bury would only shorten Silver Street, Walmersley Road and Ramsbottom. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve normally close early, and New Year’s Day opens later.
- Which Betfred is nearest to Bury Interchange and Gigg Lane?
- 7 Silver Street is the closest to Bury Interchange and the Market, a couple of minutes’ walk from both, and it is the longest-opening branch in the borough. For Bury FC at Gigg Lane, 203 Manchester Road is the nearest, about three quarters of a mile from the ground.
- How do I find the nearest Betfred to me in Bury?
- Tap “Use my current location”. Every list on this page then re-orders nearest-first, and the directions button at the top routes you to the closest of the five Bury Betfred shops.
