Betfred Opening Times, 16–18 Low Street, Sherburn in Elmet, North Yorkshire LS25 6BA

Betfred Sherburn in Elmet opening times

Betfred, 16–18 Low Street, Sherburn in Elmet, Leeds, LS25 6BA. Licensed by North Yorkshire Council, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.

Low Street runs through the middle of Sherburn in Elmet, past the Eversley Park Centre and the village shops. Although the postal address reads Leeds, Sherburn is a North Yorkshire village around twelve miles east of the city, and the shop trades like a village bookmaker rather than a city one — a straight 09:00 to 19:00 six days a week and an early Sunday finish.

Weekday opening times

From Monday to Friday the doors open at 09:00 and close at 19:00.

The ten-hour day is the same Monday through Saturday, which is unusual — most branches open earlier on a Saturday. Here the pattern simply does not change until Sunday.

Weekend opening times

Saturday keeps the same times as the weekdays. Sunday is much shorter at both ends.

Saturday afternoon is the busiest stretch. The Sunday 17:00 close is the earliest of any Betfred covered here, so a Sunday evening visit is not an option at this branch.

Bank holiday opening times

Betting shops across Great Britain may trade on every bank holiday but one. The Gambling Act 2005 requires every premises licence to carry a condition preventing gambling facilities on Christmas Day, so the 25 December closure applies here exactly as it does in Leeds.

Village branches tend to keep their normal times on bank holidays rather than extending them, and with a 19:00 close there is little room to shorten the day further.

Easter opening times

Good Friday has been a lawful trading day for betting shops since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force, and Easter Sunday has never been restricted in Great Britain. Expect the normal pattern here across the Easter weekend, including the short Easter Sunday.

Good Friday has no British racing, so the day runs on football, greyhounds and the Irish and overseas cards. Easter Monday is one of the fullest racing days of the spring, and one of the busier days of the year at a village shop like this.

May bank holiday opening times

Both May bank holidays are normal trading days at 09:00 to 19:00.

August bank holiday opening times

The August bank holiday brings a heavy afternoon racing card, which fits this branch's afternoon-only trading pattern well. Expect it to be busy from lunchtime to the 19:00 close.

Christmas opening times

Christmas brings less change here than at the city branches, because the standard day is already short. Christmas Day is closed by law. Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve finish an hour early at around 18:00, and the rest of the period runs close to normal.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve keeps the normal 09:00 open with a close at around 18:00, only an hour short of the usual finish. It is a full racing day and the village is busy that morning.

Boxing Day

Boxing Day is the biggest day of the betting shop year, driven by the King George VI Chase at Kempton. This branch opens on its normal morning time and trades to its usual 19:00 close.

New Year opening times

New Year’s Eve

New Year's Eve finishes at around 18:00, an hour earlier than usual. Anything for the New Year's Day cards should go on during the afternoon.

New Year’s Day

New Year's Day opens at around 10:00 and closes at 19:00. There is a full jumps card, so the shop trades a normal village day.

How the live opening times panel works

What you see in the panel above is calculated on the fly. The current Leeds time is checked against this branch's trading pattern, and the status, closing time and countdown all follow from that.

What the status means

Open confirms the shop is trading at this moment. Closed means the time now sits outside the published window, at which point the countdown measures the wait until opening instead. Approaching 19:00, the countdown is the more useful of the two figures.

Last bets and settling up

The published 19:00 close is when the doors shut, not when betting stops. Cash bets finish a few minutes earlier to allow the day's slips to be settled and the till cashed up, so do not arrive expecting to place something on the hour.

Getting there

The buttons at the top of the page pin the shop, route you from where you are standing, and open Street View. There is on-street parking along Low Street and in the village side streets, and Sherburn in Elmet railway station is around fifteen minutes' walk.

Other bookmakers in the area

Sherburn in Elmet is a village of around 8,500 people, and betting shop provision reflects that.

This is the only Betfred in the village, and the nearest alternatives are a drive away in Leeds, Garforth or Selby. Premises licences here are granted by North Yorkshire Council rather than Leeds City Council, despite the Leeds postal address, so the local register is held by a different authority from the rest of the shops in this section.

Two registers between them cover the ground. The Gambling Commission's public premises register identifies every licensed betting shop in Great Britain by operator and address, while North Yorkshire Council records the premises licences it has granted in Sherburn in Elmet, North Yorkshire. Trading times appear in neither, which is why they have to be checked branch by branch.

About this shop

The shop is on Low Street in the centre of Sherburn in Elmet, near the Eversley Park Centre. Although the postal town is Leeds, the village lies in North Yorkshire around twelve miles east of the city, and its premises licences are granted by North Yorkshire Council.
