Cleveleys runs 08:00 to 21:30 Monday to Saturday against Thornton’s 09:00 to 20:30, and on a Sunday the gap is two hours at the close.

Cleveleys runs 08:00 to 21:30 Monday to Saturday and 09:30 to 20:00 on a Sunday, the longer week of the two. A BOYLE Sports trades a few doors along at 77 Victoria Road West, until 21:00. Distances are straight-line estimates from Victoria Road West. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.

Betfred Thornton-Cleveleys 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 Thornton-Cleveleys branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, Thornton-Cleveleys 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 take ninety minutes off Cleveleys and half an hour off Thornton. 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 Thornton-Cleveleys 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; a 20:00 close would take ninety minutes off Cleveleys and half an hour off Thornton.
| 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 Thornton-Cleveleys 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 Thornton-Cleveleys |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 Thornton-Cleveleys branch sets its own festive times and usually posts them in the window from mid-December. The dates in these tables update automatically each year.
How the live opening times work
Everything live on this page reads the clock in Thornton-Cleveleys (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 Cleveleys branch, the longer-hours shop. It tells you whether it is open right now and how long until it closes. The Thornton row below closes earlier every day, so check it before travelling inland.
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 in Thornton
The second branch is Unit 3 in the Thornton Shopping Centre, about a mile and three-quarters inland from Cleveleys. It publishes full weekly times, so its live status is as exact as the Cleveleys shop’s.

Betfred, Thornton (Shopping Centre)Unit 3, Thornton Shopping Centre, Thornton, Thornton-Cleveleys FY5 5DX
Thornton runs 09:00 to 20:30 on weekdays, 09:00 to 20:00 on a Saturday and 10:00 to 18:00 on a Sunday. Directory sites list it with a Blackpool post town, but it is in Thornton and licensed by Wyre Borough Council, so it belongs on this page rather than our Blackpool one.
Betfred near Thornton-Cleveleys
The two shops are listed under different post towns, and the register lists one of them twice.
The licensing register lists the Thornton shop twice, as FY5 5DE and FY5 5DX; the two postcodes are about four hundred yards apart on the same precinct, so it is one shop with a revised postcode, and we use the one current listings show. Blackpool, Fleetwood and Poulton-le-Fylde each have their own Betfred shops under their own post towns; Blackpool’s eight are covered on our Blackpool page.
Both shops are licensed by Wyre Borough Council. If you are heading for Bispham, Fleetwood or Poulton-le-Fylde rather than Cleveleys or Thornton, use the location button above to see which Betfred is nearest.
Other bookmakers in Thornton-Cleveleys
BOYLE Sports is the only other bookmaker listed in Thornton-Cleveleys.
Its shop at 77 Victoria Road West is a few doors from the Cleveleys Betfred and is listed as open 09:00 to 21:00, so Betfred opens an hour earlier and closes half an hour later. Ladbrokes, Coral and William Hill have shops in neighbouring Blackpool and Fleetwood but none in Thornton-Cleveleys in current listings.
We are still confirming full weekly times branch by branch for the non-Betfred shops in Thornton-Cleveleys, so they are not listed with live status on this page yet. Every bookmaker in the town is closed on Christmas Day by law.

- Are Betfred shops in Thornton-Cleveleys open on bank holidays?
- 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 would take ninety minutes off Cleveleys and half an hour off Thornton. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve normally close early, and New Year’s Day opens later.

- Why does the licensing register show two Thornton entries?
- The register lists Unit 3 twice, once as FY5 5DE and once as FY5 5DX, with the address given as Victoria Road East on one and Thornton Place on the other. The two postcodes are about four hundred yards apart on the same precinct, so it is one shop with a revised postcode. We use FY5 5DX, which is what current listings show.
