Betfred Station Road opening times
Betfred, 3 Station Road, Colwyn Bay, LL29 8BU. Licensed by Conwy County Borough Council, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.
This Betfred is on Station Road in Colwyn Bay, a step from the station. It is a town-centre shop with a steady base of regulars. Like most Betfred branches, it trades until 22:00 seven days a week.
| Day | Opens | Closes | Time open |
|---|
Why 22:00? Betting premises licences in England and Wales carry a default condition under the Gambling Act 2005 that bars gambling between 22:00 and 07:00 unless the licensing authority removes it, which is why most high-street bookmakers close at 22:00. Individual branch times can still change at short notice, so check before a late trip.
Weekday opening times
Weekdays run from 09:00 to 22:00, a thirteen-hour trading day.
| Weekday | Opening times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 09:00 – 22:00 | A gentle start to the week, with a lunchtime lift from nearby workplaces. |
| Tuesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Evening greyhounds and all-weather racing carry trade through to close. |
| Wednesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Busy around kick-off on football nights; otherwise a steady midweek day. |
| Thursday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Pre-weekend visitors start appearing from late afternoon. |
| Friday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Busiest weekday: lunchtime and after-work visitors, plus weekend accas. |
Weekend opening times
Saturday opens earlier than any other day. Sunday opens latest but still trades late.
| Day | Opening times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 08:30 – 22:00 | Earliest open of the week, ahead of the day’s racing and the 15:00 football. |
| Sunday | 09:30 – 22:00 | Opens at 09:30, with Sunday racing and live football through the afternoon. |
Saturday is the busiest day at Betfred Station Road, with city-centre shoppers and visitors in town for the day adding to the regulars. Late afternoon, as the 15:00 results come in, is when the counter is fullest.
Bank holiday opening times
Betting shops in England and Wales face no special bank holiday restrictions, with one exception. The Gambling Act 2005 attaches a condition to every betting premises licence that prevents gambling on 25 December, so Betfred Station Road is closed on Christmas Day by law.
The tables below show the pattern Betfred Station Road 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 Station Road 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 has carried British racing since 2014, when the All-Weather Championships Finals Day was first staged on it, so there is a proper afternoon card alongside football and greyhounds. Easter Monday is one of the fullest jumps racing days of the spring.
May bank holiday opening times
Both May bank holidays, the first Monday and the last Monday of the month, run on normal Monday times at Betfred Station Road.
| 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
The August bank holiday brings a full racing programme and, most years, Premier League football, so the afternoon is 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
The Christmas fortnight is the one stretch of the year when times at this shop genuinely differ from the weekly pattern. Christmas Day is a legally enforced closure. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve usually finish early, and the days between Christmas and New Year run close to normal because 26 and 27 December are two of the biggest racing days of the year.
| 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
The shop opens at the normal time on Christmas Eve and closes early, typically around 18:00. Last cash bets are taken a little before that, and the shop empties quickly once the racing finishes.
Boxing Day
Boxing Day is the busiest single day in the betting shop calendar. Expect a full morning open and a strong afternoon around the King George VI Chase at Kempton, with a slightly earlier close than a standard Saturday.
New Year opening times
New Year’s Eve
Expect an early finish on 31 December, usually about 18:00, after a normal morning start. The evening is quiet, so get any bets on during the day.
New Year’s Day
New Year’s Day runs to a shortened timetable, typically 10:00 to 20:00, with a busy card of jumps racing through the afternoon.
The festive times shown here are the usual Betfred pattern rather than a confirmed timetable for Colwyn Bay. Branches post their own Christmas times, usually from mid-December, so check the window notice or the Betfred store finder before travelling on 24, 26 or 31 December.
How the live opening times panel works
The panel at the top of this page reads the clock in the UK and compares it against this shop’s trading times, so the status, the closing time and the countdown are always current. It runs on the same times published in the tables above. Three things are worth knowing about 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
Plan to arrive a little before the published close: counters stop taking cash bets shortly beforehand, and paying out winnings takes time too.
Getting there
Use the buttons at the top of the page to open the shop in Google Maps, plot a route from your current position, or preview the street in Street View. Colwyn Bay station is about two minutes’ walk, with trains along the North Wales coast to Llandudno Junction, Chester and Holyhead. Buses serve Llandudno and Rhyl.
