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.
Elsewhere in the calendar, expect either normal times or a slightly shorter day. Here is how the bank holidays usually look at Betfred Gorleston High Street.
Easter opening times
There are no legal restrictions on betting shops opening over Easter in Great Britain: Good Friday trading has been allowed since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force. Expect normal times across the four days.
| 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
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
There is nothing unusual about the late August bank holiday here: the shop opens at 09:00 and closes at 22:00, with racing and, in most seasons, football through the afternoon.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summer bank holiday | Last Monday in August | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
Christmas opening times
Christmas is the only time of year when the weekly pattern changes. The shop is closed by law on Christmas Day, finishes early on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, and runs near-normal days in between, when the racing calendar is at its fullest.
| 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
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 is the biggest day of the year for high-street bookmakers, built around the King George VI Chase at Kempton and a card of meetings across the country. The shop opens as normal and closes a little earlier, around 20:00.
New Year opening times
New Year’s Eve
On New Year’s Eve, Betfred Gorleston High 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
New Year’s Day is a bank holiday with a later start than usual, typically around 10:00, and an earlier close in the evening. There is a full jumps racing card, so the shop is open and trading, just on a compressed day.
The festive times shown here are the usual Betfred pattern rather than a confirmed timetable for Gorleston. 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 live panel checks UK time against the trading times in the tables above, so the open or closed status, today’s closing time and the countdown update every second. Here is how to read it.
What the status means
When the panel shows Open, the current UK time falls inside today’s trading times. Closed means it does not, and the countdown then runs to the next opening instead of the next close. Within the final hour, keep an eye on the countdown.
Last bets and settling up
Staff stop taking cash bets shortly before the published close so they can settle slips and cash up. To collect winnings, arrive at least ten minutes before the doors shut.
Getting there
Tap the Google Maps buttons at the top to see where the shop is, get directions from where you are, or look at the street in Street View before you set off. Buses from the High Street serve Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. Great Yarmouth station is about two miles north, with trains to Norwich.
