Weekday opening times
The shop keeps the same 09:00 to 22:00 times every weekday.
| 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 | Steady through the afternoon; busier once the offices empty out. |
| Wednesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Midweek European or league football makes this the liveliest evening. |
| Thursday | 09:00 – 22:00 | European football and evening racing keep the shop ticking over late. |
| Friday | 09:00 – 22:00 | The after-work rush from about 16:30 makes this the week’s peak evening. |

| 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. |

Saturday is the busiest day at Betfred Cornfield 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
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 Cornfield Road usually follows, from Easter to New Year.
Easter opening times
From Good Friday to Easter Monday, expect the normal weekly pattern in Eastbourne. Good Friday trading has been allowed since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force, and there is no Easter Sunday restriction in Great Britain.
| 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
May has two bank holidays and the shop treats both as ordinary Mondays, opening at 09:00 and closing at 22:00.
| 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
Normal Monday times apply on the summer bank holiday. With racing across the country, the shop fills up from lunchtime.
| 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
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 brings the King George VI Chase at Kempton and a full national racing card, which makes it one of the busiest days of the year in Eastbourne. The shop opens as normal and usually closes at about 20:00.
New Year opening times
New Year’s Eve
On New Year’s Eve, Betfred Cornfield Road opens at its usual time and closes early, generally around 18:00. Bets on the next day’s 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.
Bank holiday times listed here reflect the pattern Betfred shops locally usually follow. Individual branches set their own festive times and a card is normally posted in the window from around mid-December. Check that card 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
Counters stop taking cash bets a few minutes before the published closing time so staff can settle the day’s slips and cash up. If you are collecting winnings, aim to be in the shop at least ten minutes before close.
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. Eastbourne station is about three minutes’ walk, with trains to London Victoria, Brighton and Hastings. Buses stop on Terminus Road a minute away.
