Betfred High Wycombe opening times at a glance
- Betfred shops in High Wycombe
- 2 branches
- With published weekly times

- Both shops closed — required by law
High Wycombe’s two Betfred shops keep the same opening times but very different evenings. Both open at 08:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 on a Sunday, and neither changes its hours between weekdays and Saturday. But Queens Square in the town centre closes at 22:00 every day, while Flackwell Heath, two and a half miles south-east, closes at 20:30 — a ninety-minute gap, seven days a week. The licensing register also lists a Hazlemere branch that does not appear in current listings.
Betfred on Queens Square
The town-centre branch at 15 Queens Square, off the High Street. The 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, Queens Square (town centre)15 Queens Square, High Wycombe HP11 2DF
Queens Square carries its own published weekly times: 08:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 22:00 on a Sunday. It sits in the heart of the town centre, with a Coral at 2/3 Bull Lane a minute away, another Coral and a William Hill on the High Street, and a Paddy Power on White Hart Street. Distances are straight-line estimates from the High Street. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.
High Wycombe Betfred opening times compared
The full weekly pattern for both branches in one table. Today’s column is highlighted.
The two open at exactly the same times on every day of the week — 08:00 Monday to Saturday, 09:00 on a Sunday — and neither varies between weekdays and Saturday. The only difference is the evening: Queens Square runs to 22:00 and Flackwell Heath to 20:30, and that gap holds on all seven days.
| Shop | Mon – Fri | Saturday | Sunday | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Queens Square (town centre)15 Queens Square, HP11 2DF | 08:00–22:00 | 08:00–22:00 | 09:00–22:00 | |
| Flackwell Heath (Straight Bit)Unit 2, Ayres House, Straight Bit, HP10 9NB | 08:00–20:30 | 08:00–20:30 | 09:00–20:30 |
Earliest and latest Betfred shops in High Wycombe
Full weekly times are published for both branches, so this section covers every shop on the page.
Open earliest
Both branches open at 08:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 on a Sunday. Nothing in High Wycombe opens before 08:00, though the Coral on Bull Lane matches the 08:00 start.
Open latest
Queens Square closes at 22:00 on every day of the week, Sunday included. Flackwell Heath closes at 20:30, also every day. After half past eight the town centre is the only Betfred open in the High Wycombe area.
The one to remember for an evening bet: 15 Queens Square runs to 22:00 seven days a week — fourteen hours Monday to Saturday and thirteen on a Sunday — while Flackwell Heath shuts at 20:30.
Betfred High Wycombe Sunday opening times
Sunday costs both shops an hour at the start and nothing at the end: Queens Square runs 09:00 to 22:00 and Flackwell Heath 09:00 to 20:30.
| Shop | Opens | Closes | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Queens Square (town centre)15 Queens Square, HP11 2DF | 09:00 | 22:00 | |
| Flackwell Heath (Straight Bit)Unit 2, Ayres House, Straight Bit, HP10 9NB | 09:00 | 20:30 |
Queens Square runs thirteen hours on a Sunday, covering the early racing, the afternoon football and the late kick-offs. Flackwell Heath runs eleven and a half, which covers the afternoon but not a late Sunday evening game.
Betfred High Wycombe 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 both High Wycombe branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, High Wycombe 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 two hours off Queens Square and half an hour off Flackwell Heath. 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 both High Wycombe branches to follow their 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; a 20:00 close would take two hours off Queens Square and half an hour off Flackwell Heath.
| 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 High Wycombe 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 High Wycombe |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas Eve | 24 December | — | Normal opening, early close around 18:00 |
| Christmas Day | 25 December | — | Closed all day, both shops |
| 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 High Wycombe branch sets its own festive times and usually posts them in the window from mid-December. Queens Square tends to follow the town-centre trading pattern around the Eden centre, and Flackwell Heath the village shops around it. 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 High Wycombe (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 Queens Square branch. It tells you whether it is open right now and how long until it closes. As the later-closing of the two, it is the one to watch in the evening; Flackwell Heath has its own live row below.
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. 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 both lists re-order themselves, and the directions button points to whichever of the two branches is closer to you.
Betfred at Flackwell Heath
The second branch sits in Ayres House on Straight Bit in Flackwell Heath, about two and a half miles south-east of the town centre towards Bourne End. It publishes full weekly times, so its live status is as exact as the Queens Square shop’s.

Betfred, Flackwell Heath (Straight Bit)Unit 2, Ayres House, Straight Bit, Flackwell Heath, High Wycombe HP10 9NB
Flackwell Heath runs 08:00 to 20:30 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 20:30 on a Sunday — the same opening as the town centre but a much earlier close. It is a village shop in the parade on Straight Bit, and the only Betfred serving Flackwell Heath, Loudwater and the Wooburn side of town.
Betfred near High Wycombe
High Wycombe sits in the Chilterns between Marlow and Beaconsfield, and the nearest Betfred branches outside it are a fair drive away.
The licensing register lists a third High Wycombe-area Betfred at 3 Park Parade Centre in Hazlemere (HP15 7AA), about two and a half miles north-east of the town centre. It does not appear in current branch listings, so we have not given it a live row; if it is trading, let us know. Beyond the town, the nearest Betfred branches are at Amersham on Sycamore Road, Maidenhead and Slough, and Aylesbury lies about fifteen miles north.
Both High Wycombe shops are licensed by Buckinghamshire Council, which replaced Wycombe District Council in 2020. If you are heading for Marlow, Beaconsfield or Amersham rather than High Wycombe itself, use the location button above: the directions button always routes to the closer of the two High Wycombe branches.
Other bookmakers in High Wycombe
High Wycombe town centre has a crowded betting market, and Coral is the biggest name in it.
Coral has the most shops in High Wycombe, with five including 2/3 Bull Lane and 13 High Street in the centre. Ladbrokes has two, among them 31 Marlow Road, and William Hill trades at 20 High Street and Paddy Power at 11–15 White Hart Street.
We are still confirming full weekly times branch by branch for the non-Betfred shops in High Wycombe, so they are not listed with live status on this page yet. The town centre is the place to know: within a couple of minutes of Queens Square there are two Corals, a William Hill and a Paddy Power, and the Betfred is one of the longest-trading of them. Every bookmaker in the town is closed on Christmas Day by law.

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 150 miles north-west. High Wycombe is a light estate for a town of 125,000: one shop in the centre on Queens Square and one in the village of Flackwell Heath, with a third register entry at Hazlemere that no longer appears in listings. Coral, with five shops, is the dominant brand locally.
For visitors, 15 Queens Square is the one to know: a few minutes from the High Street, the Eden centre and the bus station, and about a third of a mile from High Wycombe railway station on the Chiltern line to Marylebone. It is open until 22:00 every day. For Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park, two and a half miles west, Queens Square is also the nearer of the two branches.

- Both branches open at 08:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 on a Sunday.
- What time does Betfred close in High Wycombe?

- Queens Square, until 22:00 — thirteen hours on a Sunday. Flackwell Heath closes at 20:30. Both open at 09:00.
