Betfred Chesterfield opening times at a glance
- Betfred shops in Chesterfield
- 2 branches
- With published weekly times
- Both of them
- Earliest weekday opening
- 08:00 — both branches
- Latest weekday closing
- 21:30 — both branches
- Christmas Day
- Both shops closed — required by law
Chesterfield’s two Betfred shops sit a quarter of a mile apart in the town centre and run almost the same week: both open at 08:00 Monday to Saturday and close at 21:30 on weekdays, and both run 09:30 to 20:00 on a Sunday. The only difference anywhere is the Saturday evening, when West Bars holds 21:30 and Burlington Street closes at 21:00. The 08:00 start is early for a town this size; the 20:00 Sunday finish is the earliest town-centre close on this site.
Betfred on Burlington Street
The branch at 7 Burlington Street, just off the Market Place beside the Crooked Spire. The 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.

Betfred, Burlington Street (town centre)7 Burlington Street, Chesterfield S40 1RS
7 Burlington Street carries its own published weekly times: 08:00 to 21:30 Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 21:00 on a Saturday and 09:30 to 20:00 on a Sunday. It sits on the pedestrianised stretch between the Market Place and Vicar Lane, with a Ladbrokes on Glumangate about two hundred yards away. 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.
Chesterfield Betfred opening times compared
The full weekly pattern for both branches in one table. Today’s column is highlighted.
The two branches are almost interchangeable. Both run 08:00 to 21:30 Monday to Friday and 09:30 to 20:00 on a Sunday. The single difference in the week is Saturday evening: West Bars keeps its 21:30 close while Burlington Street pulls back to 21:00. So on a Saturday night West Bars is the only Betfred open in Chesterfield after nine.

Earliest and latest Betfred shops in Chesterfield
Full weekly times are published for both branches, so this section covers every shop on the page.
Open earliest
Both branches open at 08:00 Monday to Saturday, which is earlier than most towns of Chesterfield’s size manage — Castleford and Bury both wait until 08:30 or 09:00. On a Sunday both open at 09:30. Neither brings its opening forward for a Saturday, and nothing here opens before 08:00 on any day.
Open latest
Neither branch reaches 22:00 at any point in the week. Both close at 21:30 Monday to Friday, West Bars holds 21:30 on a Saturday against Burlington Street’s 21:00, and both finish at 20:00 on a Sunday. Chesterfield is one of the few town centres covered here with no 22:00 option at all, so the evening window is tighter than in most places.
The one difference worth knowing: on a Saturday evening West Bars trades until 21:30 and Burlington Street closes at 21:00. Every other day of the week the two are identical, so West Bars is the only branch to aim for after nine on a Saturday night.
Betfred Chesterfield Sunday opening times
Sunday is much the shortest day in Chesterfield. Both shops open at 09:30 and both close at 20:00, an hour and a half earlier than their weekday finish.
| Shop | Opens | Closes | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burlington Street (town centre)7 Burlington Street, S40 1RS | 09:30 | 20:00 | |
| West BarsUnits 1&2, West Bars House, West Bars, S40 1AQ | 09:30 | 20:00 |
Both shops run ten and a half hours on a Sunday, 09:30 to 20:00. That is the earliest Sunday close of any town centre covered on this site, so a late Sunday evening bet is not really available in Chesterfield — a contrast with Brighton and Chelmsford, where every branch trades until 22:00 on a Sunday.
Betfred Chesterfield 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 both Chesterfield branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, Chesterfield 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 ninety minutes off both branches. 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 both Chesterfield branches to follow their usual pattern for that day.
| 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, and both branches would lose ninety minutes if it applies.
| 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 Chesterfield 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 Chesterfield |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas Eve | 24 December | — | Normal opening, early close around 18:00 |
| Christmas Day | 25 December | — | Closed all day, both shops |
| 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 Chesterfield branch sets its own festive times and usually posts them in the window from mid-December. Both sit in the town centre, so their festive hours tend to track the Market Place and Vicar Lane trading pattern. 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 Chesterfield (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 Burlington Street branch. It tells you whether it is open right now and how long until it closes. After the last close it switches to counting down to opening the next morning. The two shops share the same hours on six days out of seven, so the panel is a fair guide to either, except on a Saturday evening when West Bars trades half an hour longer.
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 both lists re-order themselves, and the directions button points to whichever of the two branches is closer to you.
Betfred at West Bars
The second Chesterfield branch sits in West Bars House on West Bars, about a quarter of a mile west of the Market Place towards the Donut roundabout. It publishes full weekly times, so its live status is as exact as the Burlington Street shop’s.

Betfred, West BarsUnits 1&2, West Bars House, West Bars, Chesterfield S40 1AQ
West Bars runs 08:00 to 21:30 Monday to Saturday and 09:30 to 20:00 on a Sunday, which makes it the later of the two on a Saturday evening by half an hour. It sits on the western approach to the town centre near the council offices and the Chesterfield Canal basin end of town, and it is the closer of the two branches to Brampton and the A61 south. The Ladbrokes on Glumangate is about a quarter of a mile away.
Betfred near Chesterfield
Chesterfield sits at the top of Derbyshire between Sheffield and Mansfield, and the surrounding towns each have their own Betfred branches listed under their own names.
Clay Cross is the closest, about five miles south on Market Street, with Dronfield’s Civic Centre branch five miles north towards Sheffield and Bolsover’s Market Place shop six miles east. Sheffield, eleven miles north, has a far larger estate, and Mansfield lies twelve miles south-east. The old Chesterfield Sports Stadium at Brimington, which held greyhound racing until 2000, was demolished in 2018.
Both Chesterfield shops are licensed by Chesterfield Borough Council. The Clay Cross and Bolsover branches carry Chesterfield postal addresses but fall under North East Derbyshire and Bolsover District Councils, so they are separate in licensing terms. If you are heading for Clay Cross, Bolsover or Dronfield rather than Chesterfield itself, use the location button above: the directions button always routes to the closer of the two Chesterfield branches, which may not be the nearest Betfred overall.
Other bookmakers in Chesterfield
Ladbrokes is the biggest name in Chesterfield, with more shops in the borough than Betfred.
Ladbrokes has at least three: 7 Glumangate in the town centre, about two hundred yards from the Burlington Street Betfred, plus 415 Sheffield Road at Whittington Moor and 15 Mansfield Road in Hasland. William Hill trades at 367–369 Sheffield Road at Whittington Moor, and Coral has a shop in the Littlemoor Centre at Newbold.
We are still confirming full weekly times branch by branch for the non-Betfred shops in Chesterfield, so they are not listed with live status on this page yet. One point is already clear though: both Betfred branches are in the town centre, while Ladbrokes, William Hill and Coral cover the outer districts at Whittington Moor, Hasland and Newbold, where Betfred has no shop at all. If you are out at Brimington, Staveley or Newbold, the nearest betting shop will not be a Betfred. Every bookmaker in the town is closed on Christmas Day by law.
About Betfred in Chesterfield
| Trading name | Betfred |
|---|---|
| Licensee | Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited |
| Head office | Birchwood, Warrington |
| Licensing authority | Chesterfield Borough Council |
| Branches in Chesterfield | 2 betting shops, both in the town centre |
| With published weekly times | Both of them |
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 70 miles west. Chesterfield is a two-shop town and both are central: Burlington Street beside the Market Place and West Bars a quarter of a mile west. There are no branches in the outer districts, so Whittington Moor, Hasland, Newbold and Brimington are covered by other brands. Betfred does have shops in the wider borough area though, at Clay Cross and Bolsover, both carrying Chesterfield addresses.
For travellers, 7 Burlington Street is the one to know: a minute from the Market Place, the Pavements and Vicar Lane, and about a third of a mile from Chesterfield railway station on the Sheffield to Derby line. West Bars is the better side of town if you are coming in from Brampton or the A61, and the later of the two on a Saturday evening. For Chesterfield FC at the Technique Stadium on Sheffield Road, both are roughly a mile south of the ground, so neither is a matchday walk-up.
