Betfred Opening Times, 2A Middleton Park Circus, Leeds LS10 4LU

Betfred Middleton opening times

Betfred, 2A Middleton Park Circus, Leeds, LS10 4LU. Licensed by Leeds City Council, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.

Middleton Park Circus is the crescent of shops at the heart of the Middleton estate, off Middleton Park Avenue and a short walk from Middleton Park itself. The shop serves the surrounding streets rather than any passing trade, and the times reflect that: a steady rather than early morning, a busy afternoon, and a 21:00 close when the circus quietens down.

Weekday opening times

Monday to Friday this branch trades from 09:00 through to 21:00.

The twelve-hour day suits the neighbourhood. Trade is concentrated between early afternoon and early evening, and the shop is at its quietest in the first hour after opening.

Weekend opening times

Saturday opens earliest at 08:30. Sunday opens latest and closes earliest.

Saturday morning is the peak on the circus and in the shop. Sunday is quieter throughout and closes at 20:00, so it does not cover the late football.

Bank holiday opening times

Bank holidays are ordinary trading days for betting shops in England and Wales, with one legal exception. The Gambling Act 2005 requires every premises licence to include a condition barring gambling on Christmas Day, so no betting shop in Great Britain opens on 25 December.

Bank holiday Mondays are typically busier here than a normal Monday, because the estate is at home. The shop runs its usual Monday times.

Easter opening times

Good Friday has been a permitted 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 weekend pattern here over Easter.

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 a busy one on the circus.

May bank holiday opening times

Both May bank holidays are normal Monday trading days at 09:00 to 21:00. Middleton Park is busy on a fine bank holiday, which brings a little extra trade through the circus.

August bank holiday opening times

The August bank holiday brings a heavy afternoon card and a full estate. Expect a busy afternoon, closing at the usual 21:00.

Christmas opening times

Christmas is the only period when the times here shift meaningfully. Christmas Day is a legal closure. Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve finish early, and the days in between run close to normal because 26 and 27 December are two of the biggest racing days of the year.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve keeps the normal 09:00 open with an early close at around 18:00. The circus is busy that morning with food shopping and then empties quickly.

Boxing Day

Boxing Day is the busiest day of the betting shop year, built around the King George VI Chase at Kempton. This branch opens on its normal morning time and closes at 20:00.

New Year opening times

New Year’s Eve

New Year's Eve follows the Christmas Eve pattern: normal morning open, early evening close at around 18:00. 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 20:00. There is a full jumps card, so the shop trades a normal but shortened day.

How the live opening times panel works

Everything in the panel above is worked out live: the script reads the clock in Leeds, checks it against this branch's own times, and re-draws the status, the closing time and the countdown as the day moves on.

What the status means

A green Open means Middleton is trading right now. Closed means the current time falls outside the published window, and the countdown switches to the wait until the next opening. In the final hour before 21:00 the countdown is the number to trust over the table.

Last bets and settling up

Expect the counter to stop writing cash bets a few minutes short of 21:00. Settling the day's slips and cashing up takes time, and it happens before the advertised close rather than after it. Collections are worth making earlier in the evening.

Getting there

The buttons at the top of the page pin the shop, route you from where you are standing, and open Street View so you can pick out the parade. There is parking on the circus itself, which makes this branch straightforward to drive to.

Other bookmakers in the area

South Leeds has a good spread of betting shops, concentrated on the estate parades and the main roads into the city.

Other chains hold premises licences on the parades at Belle Isle and along Dewsbury Road, both a short bus ride away. Estate shops in this part of Leeds generally close between 20:00 and 21:00, so a later bet means heading towards the city centre.

For a complete picture of licensed premises around Middleton, south Leeds, two registers are worth consulting: the Gambling Commission's national premises register, searchable by operator and address, and the local register kept by Leeds City Council. Both confirm who is licensed; neither records what time anyone opens.

About this shop

The shop is on Middleton Park Circus, the crescent of shops serving the estate, off Middleton Park Avenue. Buses run onto the estate and stop on the circus, with parking directly outside the parade.
