The shop keeps the same 09:00 to 22:00 times every weekday.
| Weekday | Opening times | Notes |

| Monday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Office workers drift in over lunch; mornings are quiet. |
| Tuesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Evening greyhounds and all-weather racing carry trade through to close. |

Bank holiday opening times
Bank holidays are normal trading days for betting shops in England and Wales, with a single legal exception. The Gambling Act 2005 attaches a condition to every betting premises licence that rules out gambling on Christmas Day, so 25 December is a closure by law.
The tables below show the pattern Betfred Market Place usually follows, from Easter to New Year.
Easter opening times
Easter is business as usual for betting shops in Great Britain. Good Friday opening has been lawful since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force and Easter Sunday carries no restriction, so Betfred Market Place keeps its standard times over the long weekend.
| 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
There are two May bank holidays: the early May Monday and the spring bank holiday at the end of the month. Both are normal Monday trading days here.
| 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
Summer bank holiday Monday, at the end of August, keeps normal Monday times of 09:00 to 22:00 at Betfred Market Place. The afternoon is usually 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
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
Christmas Eve is a normal opening time with an early finish, typically around 18:00, so staff can get away for the evening. The last cash bets go on well before then. It is a full racing day, so the shop is often busy through the middle of the afternoon before emptying out sharply.
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
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
The shop usually opens a little later, around 10:00, and closes around 20:00. With a full programme of jumps racing, it is still a busy trading day.
Festive times vary slightly from branch to branch. Betfred Market Place 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 status panel at the top of the page works from the current UK time and the published times for Betfred Market Place, so the open or closed flag, today’s close and the countdown are always current. A few details on 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
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 Market Place, get there at least ten minutes before closing.
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. Chippenham station is about six minutes’ walk, with trains to Bath, Bristol, Swindon and London Paddington. The bus station is next to the Market Place.
