Cleethorpes has a single Betfred, and it does the job of several: 08:30 to 22:00 Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 22:00 on a Saturday and 09:00 to 22:00 on a Sunday. That 22:00 close holds every day of the week, which puts a one-shop resort ahead of Chesterfield, Castleford and Bury, none of which manage a 22:00 finish on any day. The Saturday opening is also half an hour earlier than the weekday one — unusual, and a sign of how much of the week’s trade lands on a Saturday here.

Betfred, St Peter's Avenue37 St Peter’s Avenue, Cleethorpes DN35 8HF
37 St Peter’s Avenue carries its own published weekly times: 08:30 to 22:00 Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 22:00 on a Saturday and 09:00 to 22:00 on a Sunday. It sits on the main shopping street running inland from the seafront, with a Ladbrokes on Short Street about fifty yards away — the two are effectively neighbours. Distances are straight-line estimates from the pier. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.
Cleethorpes Betfred opening times compared
The full weekly pattern for the shop in one table. Today’s column is highlighted.
With one shop in the town the table is short, but the pattern is worth reading. The closing time never moves: 22:00 on all seven days. Only the opening changes, and it changes in the less common direction, opening earlier on a Saturday (08:00) than on a weekday (08:30). Sunday is the latest start at 09:00, which still beats the 09:30 or 10:00 that several bigger towns settle for.

Earliest and latest Betfred shops in Cleethorpes
Full weekly times are published for the shop, so this section covers every day of its week.
Open earliest
The earliest opening of the week is 08:00 on a Saturday. Weekdays start at 08:30 and Sunday at 09:00. Opening earlier on a Saturday than midweek is the reverse of the usual pattern — most towns either hold the weekday time or open later — and it puts the shop open well before the first racing on the busiest day of the week.
Open latest
22:00, every single day. There is no weekend drop-off and no shorter Sunday evening, which is rare for a town this size and unheard of among the one-shop towns covered here. If you are on the Cleethorpes seafront on a Sunday night, you have until ten.
The one to remember, because it is the only one: 37 St Peter’s Avenue runs 08:30 to 22:00 on weekdays, 08:00 to 22:00 on a Saturday and 09:00 to 22:00 on a Sunday. Thirteen and a half hours a day midweek, fourteen on a Saturday, and a 22:00 finish every day of the year bar Christmas Day.
Betfred Cleethorpes Sunday opening times
Sunday in Cleethorpes costs you half an hour at the start of the day and nothing at the end.
| Shop | Opens | Closes | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| St Peter's Avenue37 St Peter’s Avenue, DN35 8HF | 09:00 | 22:00 |
St Peter’s Avenue runs thirteen hours on a Sunday, 09:00 to 22:00 — the same closing time as every other day. Among the towns covered on this site only Brighton, Chelmsford, Cheltenham and Bournemouth match a 22:00 Sunday finish, and all of those have several shops to spread the load. Here one shop does it.
Betfred Cleethorpes 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 the Cleethorpes shop closes on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, Cleethorpes 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 the St Peter’s Avenue shop. 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 the Cleethorpes shop to follow its 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 the shop would lose two hours 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 Cleethorpes 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 Cleethorpes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 Cleethorpes branch sets its own festive times and usually posts them in the window from mid-December. The shop sits on the main shopping street, so its festive hours tend to track the town centre’s trading pattern, and the resort is quieter in midwinter than in season. 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 Cleethorpes (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 St Peter’s Avenue branch, which is the only Betfred in Cleethorpes. 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 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 page measures your distance to the shop, and the directions button plans a route from wherever you are.
Betfred near Cleethorpes
Cleethorpes runs straight into Grimsby, and Grimsby’s four Betfred branches are listed under their own post town rather than under Cleethorpes.
The closest is Ladysmith Road in Grimsby, about two miles north-west, followed by the Freshney Place branch in Grimsby town centre at just under three miles. There are two more at Lynton Parade on Cromwell Road and Chelmsford Avenue. Beyond the two towns, Immingham, Louth and Scunthorpe are the nearest options, and Doncaster — whose name confusingly appears in some listings of the St Peter’s Avenue address — is fifty miles west.
Cleethorpes and Grimsby are both in North East Lincolnshire, so all five branches across the two towns share the same licensing authority even though the postal addresses differ. Blundell Park, home of Grimsby Town, is actually inside Cleethorpes on Grimsby Road. If you are up that end of town, use the location button above: the directions button routes to St Peter’s Avenue, but a Grimsby branch may well be closer.
Other bookmakers in Cleethorpes
Cleethorpes has four betting shops in total, one from each of the big four, and Betfred is the latest-closing of them by a wide margin.
Ladbrokes is at 1–3 Short Street, about fifty yards from the Betfred and the closest rival to it. William Hill trades at 249 Grimsby Road towards Blundell Park, and Coral at 18 Sandringham Road out towards Sandringham and the Humberston side of town.
We are still confirming full weekly times branch by branch for the non-Betfred shops in Cleethorpes, so they are not listed with live status on this page yet. One comparison is worth making now though: the Coral on Sandringham Road closes at 19:00 on weekdays and 17:30 on a Sunday, three hours and four and a half hours earlier than the Betfred respectively. On a Sunday evening in Cleethorpes, St Peter’s Avenue is very likely the only betting shop still open. Every bookmaker in the town is closed on Christmas Day by law.

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. Cleethorpes is a one-shop town for Betfred, which is less thin than it sounds: Grimsby begins less than a mile from St Peter’s Avenue and holds four more branches, so the Betfred presence across the two towns is five. The single Cleethorpes shop sits on the main shopping street rather than the seafront, which is typical of the resort pages on this site — Blackpool aside, Betfred tends to trade where the residents are rather than where the visitors are.
For visitors, 37 St Peter’s Avenue is about half a mile from the pier, the promenade and Cleethorpes railway station, which sits right on the seafront at the end of the line from Manchester and Sheffield. Blundell Park, home of Grimsby Town, is a mile or so north-west along Grimsby Road and inside the Cleethorpes boundary despite the club’s name; the William Hill on Grimsby Road is the closer betting shop for a matchday. The Meridian Showground and the Humberston end of the resort are further south, with the Coral on Sandringham Road nearest to them.
Frequently asked questions
- How many Betfred shops are there in Cleethorpes?
- One: 37 St Peter’s Avenue, licensed by North East Lincolnshire Council. Grimsby, next door, has four Betfred branches listed under its own post town, and the nearest of those is about two miles from Cleethorpes.
- What time does Betfred open in Cleethorpes?
- 08:30 Monday to Friday, 08:00 on a Saturday and 09:00 on a Sunday. The Saturday opening is half an hour earlier than the weekday one, which is the opposite of what most towns do.
- What time does Betfred close in Cleethorpes?
- 22:00, every day of the week including Sunday. For a resort town with a single betting shop, a 22:00 finish seven days a week is generous — several larger towns covered on this site have no 22:00 option at all on a Sunday.
- Is the Cleethorpes Betfred open on a Sunday?
- Yes, 09:00 to 22:00, thirteen hours. That is the same closing time it keeps all week, so Sunday costs you only the half hour at the start of the day compared with a weekday.
- 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.
- Is Betfred in Cleethorpes open on bank holidays?
- Yes, and in a seaside resort the May and August bank holidays are among the busiest days of the year. Betfred has in past years announced a chain-wide 20:00 close on bank holiday Mondays, which would cut two hours off the St Peter’s Avenue shop. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve normally close early, and New Year’s Day opens later.
- Which Betfred is nearest to Cleethorpes seafront and Blundell Park?
- 37 St Peter’s Avenue is the only Betfred in the town, about half a mile from the pier and the promenade. For Grimsby Town at Blundell Park — which is actually in Cleethorpes, on Grimsby Road — it is roughly a mile south-east of the ground, and the Grimsby Road William Hill is closer.
- How do I find the nearest Betfred to me in Cleethorpes?
- Tap “Use my current location”. The list re-orders from your position and the directions button routes you to St Peter’s Avenue. If you are north of Blundell Park, one of the four Grimsby branches may be closer.
