Betfred Glassford Street opening times
Betfred, 10 Glassford Street, Glasgow, G1 1UL. Licensed by Glasgow City Council, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.
This Betfred is on Glassford Street in the Merchant City, a couple of minutes from Trongate and the Argyle Street shops. It picks up trade from office workers, shoppers and people heading through the old merchant quarter. It keeps standard Betfred high-street times, with a 22:00 close every night.
| Day | Opens | Closes | Time open |
|---|
Before you travel: times at individual Betfred shops can change at short notice for staffing, refurbishment or big sporting fixtures. Ring the shop or check the Betfred store finder if you are making a special trip late in the evening.
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 | Office workers drift in over lunch; mornings are quiet. |
| Tuesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | After-work trade builds from about 17:30 as the evening racing starts. |
| 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. |
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 | The week’s busiest day, from the morning racing to the late football. |
| Sunday | 09:30 – 22:00 | Later start; Scottish Premiership and Premier League football run through the afternoon. |
In the city centre the weekend crowd is a mix of regulars, shoppers and people in town for a match or a night out, so Saturday afternoon is the peak. Mornings are the easiest time to get a seat.
Bank holiday opening times
There is only one day of the year when this shop cannot open: Christmas Day. Every betting premises licence issued under the Gambling Act 2005 carries a condition barring gambling on 25 December. Every other bank holiday is a trading day.
The tables below show the pattern Betfred Glassford Street usually follows, from Easter to New Year.
Easter opening times
Betting shops have been permitted to open on Good Friday since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force, and there is no legal restriction on Easter Sunday trading in Great Britain. Expect this shop to run a normal weekend pattern across the Easter 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, a normal working day in Scotland, 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 |
Summer bank holiday opening times
The Scottish summer bank holiday, on the first Monday in August, keeps normal Monday times of 09:00 to 22:00 at Betfred Glassford Street. The afternoon is usually the busiest part of the day.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summer bank holiday | First Monday in August | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
St Andrew’s Day and local holidays
The one distinctly Scottish autumn bank holiday, St Andrew’s Day on 30 November, makes no difference to trading here: Betfred Glassford Street opens and closes as it would on any other day of the week.
| Holiday | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| St Andrew’s Day | 30 November | — | Normal times for that day |
| Glasgow Fair Monday | Third Monday in July | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
| September weekend Monday | Last Monday in September | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
Glasgow’s own holidays sit outside the bank holiday calendar. The Glasgow Fair Monday in July and the September weekend are trades holidays fixed by the council, not statutory bank holidays, and betting shops trade normal hours on both.
Christmas opening times
At Betfred Glassford Street, the weekly pattern holds for almost the whole year and only changes over Christmas and New Year. Christmas Day is a legal closure, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve finish early, and the days in between stay close to normal because the racing calendar is at its busiest.
| 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 |
| 2 January | Bank holiday in Scotland | — | 10:00 – 20:00 |
Christmas Eve
Expect the usual 09:00 open and an early close at around 18:00. Racing runs through the afternoon, so the busiest spell is the middle of the day; by early evening the shop is quiet.
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 Merchant City. 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 Glassford Street 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
On 1 January, Betfred Glassford Street normally opens around 10:00 and closes around 20:00. There is a full jumps racing programme, so it is a proper trading day, just a shorter one.
Bank holiday times listed here reflect the pattern Betfred shops in the Glasgow area 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 status panel at the top of the page works from the current UK time and the published times for Betfred Glassford Street, 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
Open means the shop is inside its published trading times right now. Closed means it is outside them, and the countdown switches to show how long until the doors open again. If the shop is due to close within the hour, the countdown is the number to watch.
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
Three Google Maps shortcuts sit at the top of the page: a pin on the shop, directions from your current location, and a Street View preview of the street. St Enoch Subway station and Argyle Street railway station are both around four or five minutes’ walk. Queen Street and Central stations are each within about ten minutes, and buses run along Trongate and Argyle Street.
