Betfred Grimsby opening times at a glance
- Betfred shops in Grimsby
- 5 branches
- With published weekly times
- 3 of the 5
- Earliest weekday opening
- 08:30 — Laceby Road
- Latest weekday closing
- 21:30 — Chelmsford Avenue
- Christmas Day
- Every shop closed — required by law
Grimsby has five Betfred shops and none of them trades late. Of the three with reliable times, Chelmsford Avenue closes latest on a weekday at 21:30, all three shut at 20:00 on a Saturday, and Sunday finishes run from 19:00 to 20:00. That makes Grimsby one of the earlier-closing towns on this site, and a contrast with the single Cleethorpes shop two miles east, which runs to 22:00 every day. The town-centre branch on Victoria Street and the Ladysmith Road shop are listed further down without live status, because their published times either conflict or come from a listing we do not trust.
The 3 Grimsby Betfred shops with published times
Every Grimsby Betfred with weekly times we are confident in, ordered by distance from the town centre. Each row shows today’s times, whether the shop is open now and how long until it closes, with buttons for the map pin, a route from where you are and Street View of the shopfront.

Betfred, Crossroads (Laceby Road)Unit 2, 468 Laceby Road, Crossroads, Grimsby DN34 5NU
All three sit west of the town centre along the main roads out: Lynton Parade on Cromwell Road, Chelmsford Avenue in the Nunsthorpe and Grange area, and Laceby Road at the Crossroads parade on the way to Laceby. For Laceby Road, two independent sources agree on the 21:00 weekday close. Distances are straight-line estimates from Victoria Street. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.
Grimsby Betfred opening times compared
The full weekly pattern for the three confirmed branches, with the two unconfirmed rows shown for completeness. Today’s column is highlighted.
None of the three keeps the same hours on a Saturday as midweek: all three shorten the Saturday evening to 20:00, even though Lynton Parade and Chelmsford Avenue open half an hour earlier that morning. Laceby Road is the most consistent of the three and the earliest opener every day of the week.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lynton Parade (Cromwell Road)Unit 5/6, Lynton Parade, Cromwell Road, DN31 2BD | 09:00–21:00 | 08:30–20:00 | 10:00–19:00 | |

Earliest and latest Betfred shops in Grimsby
This section covers the three branches with published times. The two unconfirmed shops are excluded because we cannot verify their hours.
Open earliest
Laceby Road at Crossroads opens at 08:30 every day from Monday to Saturday and 09:00 on a Sunday, the earliest in Grimsby on every day. Lynton Parade and Chelmsford Avenue open at 09:00 midweek, 08:30 on a Saturday and 10:00 on a Sunday. Nothing confirmed in Grimsby opens before 08:30.
Open latest
Chelmsford Avenue closes latest on weekdays, at 21:30, with Lynton Parade and Laceby Road at 21:00. All three shut at 20:00 on a Saturday. No confirmed Grimsby branch reaches 22:00 on any day, which puts the town among the earlier-closing places covered on this site.
The Sunday evening tip: no Grimsby branch with confirmed times is open past 20:00 on a Sunday. The Betfred at 37 St Peter’s Avenue in Cleethorpes, about two miles east, runs until 22:00 every day, Sunday included.
Betfred Grimsby Sunday opening times
Sunday is short in Grimsby: the three confirmed branches close between 19:00 and 20:00, and two of them do not open until 10:00.
| Shop | Opens | Closes | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chelmsford Avenue130 Chelmsford Avenue, DN34 5DA | 10:00 | 20:00 | |
| Crossroads (Laceby Road)Unit 2, 468 Laceby Road, DN34 5NU | 09:00 | 20:00 | |
| Lynton Parade (Cromwell Road)Unit 5/6, Lynton Parade, Cromwell Road, DN31 2BD | 10:00 | 19:00 |
Laceby Road runs 09:00 to 20:00 on a Sunday, Chelmsford Avenue 10:00 to 20:00 and Lynton Parade 10:00 to 19:00. That covers the afternoon football but not the evening kick-offs; for those, Cleethorpes is the nearest Betfred still open.
Betfred Grimsby 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 all five Grimsby branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, Grimsby 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 cut up to ninety minutes off the three confirmed branches. 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 each Grimsby branch to follow its 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; with Grimsby’s shops already closing at 21:00 or 21:30 midweek, a 20:00 bank holiday close costs only an hour or so.
| 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 Grimsby 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 Grimsby |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas Eve | 24 December | — | Normal opening, early close around 18:00 |
| Christmas Day | 25 December | — | Closed all day, every shop |
| 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 Grimsby branch sets its own festive times and usually posts them in the window from mid-December. The Broadmead shop sits inside the Grimsby Shopping Quarter and may also follow the centre’s own festive hours. The live countdowns on this page follow the standard weekly times and the Christmas Day closure only, so check the window card before travelling on 24, 26 or 31 December or 1 January.
How the live opening times work
Everything live on this page reads the clock in Grimsby (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 three Grimsby branches with published weekly times. It tells you how many are open right now, which is next to close, and how long until the last one shuts for the night. The two unconfirmed shops are left out of the count, because including a shop with unknown hours would make the panel wrong rather than incomplete.
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. Times not published means we have no confirmed hours for that branch. 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 the lists re-order themselves so the closest shop is always at the top, and the directions button points to the nearest of all five branches, including the two whose hours are unconfirmed.
Grimsby branches with unconfirmed times
Two more Betfred shops trade in Grimsby, but we have not been able to confirm their full weekly times from a source that publishes them branch by branch, so they carry no live status.
-
Betfred, Freshney Place (Victoria Street)68 Victoria Street, Grimsby DN31 1BL
-
Betfred, Ladysmith Road97 Ladysmith Road, Grimsby DN32 9EQ
| Shop | Address | Weekly times |
|---|---|---|
| Victoria Street | 68 Victoria Street, Freshney Place, DN31 1BL | One listing only, attached to another business’s reviews — not reliable enough to publish |
| Ladysmith Road | 97 Ladysmith Road, DN32 9EQ | Sources disagree: one gives a 21:00 weekday close, another 20:00 |
The map, directions and Street View buttons all work for both, and they are included when you use the location button, so they will still come up as your nearest shop if you are in the town centre or on the east side of Grimsby. What we cannot do is tell you reliably whether they are open right now. The only weekly timetable we found for the Victoria Street shop sits on a listing carrying another business’s customer reviews, which suggests the record has been merged in error; and for Ladysmith Road the two sources we check differ by an hour on weekday evenings. Betfred’s shop line is 0800 032 0878, and the window card will carry the current times.
Betfred near Grimsby
Grimsby sits on the south bank of the Humber, and the neighbouring Betfred branches are listed under their own town names.
Cleethorpes runs straight into Grimsby from the east, and its single Betfred at 37 St Peter’s Avenue is about two miles from Victoria Street — covered on its own page, and the latest-closing shop in the area at 22:00 every day. Immingham’s Kennedy Way branch is six miles north-west, and Scunthorpe and Brigg lie further inland. Hull, across the Humber, has a much larger estate.
Grimsby and Cleethorpes are both in North East Lincolnshire, so all six branches across the two towns share the same licensing authority even though the post towns differ. Some directories list Grimsby shops with a Doncaster address because of the DN postcode; they are in Grimsby. If you are at the east end of town, use the location button above: the Cleethorpes shop may well be closer than any Grimsby branch.
Other bookmakers in Grimsby
Grimsby has a broad spread of bookmakers, and Betfred, with five shops, has the most of any brand.
Ladbrokes trades at 36 Victoria Street South in Freshney Place, a minute from the Victoria Street Betfred, and at 122 Freeman Street. William Hill has shops at 73 Freeman Street and 174 Sutcliffe Avenue, the latter about half a mile from the Chelmsford Avenue Betfred. Coral trades at 137–139 Victor Street and at 7–9 Waltham Road in Scartho.
We are still confirming full weekly times branch by branch for the non-Betfred shops in Grimsby, so they are not listed with live status on this page yet. Freeman Street is the stretch to know on the east side, with a Ladbrokes and a William Hill a few doors apart, and Freshney Place in the centre has the Betfred and a Ladbrokes. Betfred has more shops in Grimsby than any other single brand. Every bookmaker in the borough is closed on Christmas Day by law.
About Betfred in Grimsby
| Trading name | Betfred |
|---|---|
| Licensee | Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited |
| Head office | Birchwood, Warrington |
| Licensing authority | North East Lincolnshire Council |
| Branches in Grimsby | 5 betting shops |
| With published weekly times | 3 of the 5 |
Betfred began in Salford in 1967, when brothers Fred and Peter Done opened their first betting shop, and it runs its estate from Birchwood in Warrington, about 110 miles west. Grimsby has five branches, the most of any bookmaker in the town, and they are spread rather than clustered: one by Freshney Place in the centre, one on Ladysmith Road to the east, and three on the western roads out at Cromwell Road, Chelmsford Avenue and Laceby Road. That makes Grimsby a neighbourhood estate, and its hours reflect it — nothing trades to 22:00.
For visitors, the Victoria Street shop is the most central, beside Freshney Place and a few minutes from Grimsby Town station, though its times are unconfirmed; Lynton Parade is the nearest branch with published hours. The National Fishing Heritage Centre and the Alexandra Dock are a short walk north of the centre. Blundell Park, home of Grimsby Town, sits over the border in Cleethorpes, where the St Peter’s Avenue Betfred is the closer shop for a match.
