Betfred The Broadway opening times
Betfred, 36 The Broadway, Hornchurch, RM12 4RN. Licensed by the London Borough of Havering, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.
This Betfred is on The Broadway at Elm Park, beside the station. It is a local shop with commuter trade as well as regulars. It keeps standard Betfred high-street times, with a 22:00 close every night.
| Day | Opens | Closes | Time open |
|---|
Why 22:00? Betting premises licences in England and Wales carry a default condition under the Gambling Act 2005 that bars gambling between 22:00 and 07:00 unless the licensing authority removes it, which is why most high-street bookmakers close at 22:00. Individual branch times can still change at short notice, so check before a late trip.
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 | A calm start to the week, with most visits around the afternoon racing. |
| Tuesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Evening dog racing runs through to close. |
| Wednesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Busy around kick-off on European and league nights. |
| Thursday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Steady afternoon trade and a lift for the evening football. |
| Friday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Town-centre shoppers and after-work visitors make this the busiest weekday. |
Weekend opening times
Saturday is the early start of the week at 08:30; Sunday is the late start at 09:30. Both finish at 22:00.
| 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. |
| Sunday | 09:30 – 22:00 | Opens at 09:30; Sunday football dominates the screens. |
Saturday is the day to expect queues, particularly from lunchtime until the late results. Sunday mornings are relaxed.
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.
Outside Christmas Day, a bank holiday at Betfred The Broadway is either a normal trading day or a slightly shorter one. The detail is set out below.
Easter opening times
Good Friday opening has been allowed since the Gambling Act 2005 took effect, and Easter Sunday carries no trading restriction in Great Britain, so the Easter weekend here looks much like any other.
| 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 |
British racing on Good Friday is now a fixture, with the All-Weather Championships finals run on it since 2014, and Easter Monday brings a packed programme of jumps meetings, so both days are lively in the shop.
May bank holiday opening times
The early May bank holiday and the spring bank holiday both follow ordinary Monday times in Elm Park: 09:00 to 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
The late summer bank holiday falls on the last Monday in August and coincides with a heavy afternoon racing card, so expect the shop to be busy 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 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
Christmas Eve at Betfred The Broadway usually means a 09:00 open and an early close at about 18:00. Racing fills the afternoon, so that is the busiest spell; if you need to collect winnings, go before late afternoon.
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
Expect an early finish on 31 December, usually about 18:00, after a normal morning start. The evening is quiet, so get any bets on during the day.
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.
The festive times shown here are the usual Betfred pattern rather than a confirmed timetable for Elm Park. 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
Cash betting at the counter stops a few minutes before the published close while staff settle slips and cash up. If you have winnings to collect at Betfred The Broadway, get there at least ten minutes before closing.
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. Elm Park station on the District line is about two minutes’ walk, with trains to central London in around forty minutes. Buses serve Hornchurch and Romford.
