Weekday opening times
Monday to Friday, the shop opens at 09:00 and trades through to late evening.
| 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 | Afternoon racing brings in the regulars; the evening is relaxed. |
| Wednesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Quieter by day, busier for the evening fixtures. |
| Thursday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Evening racing cards and Thursday-night football to close. |
| Friday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Town-centre shoppers and after-work visitors make this the busiest weekday. |
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 | Opens at 08:30 so early coupons can go on before the first race. |
| Sunday | 09:30 – 22:00 | Opens at 09:30, with Sunday racing and live football through the afternoon. |
Saturday is the day to expect queues, particularly from lunchtime until the late results. Sunday mornings are relaxed.
Bank holiday opening times
Betting shops in Scotland may trade on every bank holiday, with one exception. Under the Gambling Act 2005, every betting premises licence carries a condition that the premises cannot be used to provide gambling facilities on Christmas Day, so this shop is closed on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On all other bank holidays, Betfred branches generally run either their normal times or a shortened day. The tables below set out what to expect at Betfred Dean 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 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, which is not a bank holiday 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
There is nothing unusual about the 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 | First Monday in August | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
| St Andrew’s Day | 30 November | — | Normal times for that day |
Christmas opening times
The Christmas fortnight is the one stretch of the year when times at this shop genuinely differ from the weekly pattern. Christmas Day is a legally enforced closure. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve usually finish early, and the days between Christmas and New Year run close to normal because 26 and 27 December are two of the biggest racing days of the year.
| 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
The shop opens at the normal time on Christmas Eve and closes early, typically around 18:00. Last cash bets are taken a little before that, and the shop empties quickly once the racing finishes.
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 Dean 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 runs to a shortened timetable, typically 10:00 to 20:00, with a busy card of jumps racing through the afternoon.
Festive times vary slightly from branch to branch. Betfred Dean Street normally puts its Christmas times in the window from mid-December; check them, or the Betfred store finder, before a trip 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 Dean Street, get there at least ten minutes before closing.
Getting there
The three buttons at the top of the page open Google Maps: the first drops a pin on the shop, the second builds a route from wherever you are standing, and the third loads Street View so you can see the area before you set off. Kilmarnock station is about five minutes’ walk, with trains to Glasgow Central. Buses along Dean Street serve the town.
