Betfred Opening Times, 37A–37B Town Street, Horsforth, Leeds LS18 5LJ

Betfred Horsforth opening times

Betfred, 37A–37B Town Street, Horsforth, Leeds, LS18 5LJ. Licensed by Leeds City Council, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.

Horsforth Town Street is the long shopping street running through the middle of Horsforth, lined with independents, cafes and pubs. The shop occupies a double frontage in the busier central stretch. Horsforth has a more affluent and more residential character than the inner-Leeds locations, and the trading pattern reflects it: unhurried mornings, a solid afternoon and a 21:00 close.

Weekday opening times

From Monday to Friday the doors open at 09:00 and close at 21:00.

This is an afternoon and early-evening shop rather than an early-doors one. The first hour after opening is usually the quietest stretch of the day.

Weekend opening times

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

Saturday is the busiest day, with Town Street full through the morning and a complete racing card in the afternoon. Sunday closes at 20:00, so it does not cover the late football.

Bank holiday opening times

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

Horsforth Town Street is busy on bank holiday weekends, particularly in good weather, and this branch runs its usual Monday times.

Easter opening times

Good Friday trading has been permitted 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 the Easter weekend.

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 bank holidays here.

May bank holiday opening times

Both May bank holidays are normal Monday trading days at 09:00 to 21:00. Town Street tends to be busy on a fine May bank holiday.

August bank holiday opening times

The August bank holiday brings a heavy afternoon racing card and a busy Town Street, making it one of the fuller days of the year at this branch.

Christmas opening times

Christmas is the only period where the times here shift meaningfully. Christmas Day is closed by law. Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve finish early, and the days 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. Town Street is at its busiest that morning before quietening down sharply in the afternoon.

Boxing Day

Boxing Day is the busiest day of the betting shop year, anchored by the King George VI Chase at Kempton. Expect a full day here, closing 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. Place anything for the New Year's Day cards during the afternoon.

New Year’s Day

New Year's Day opens later at around 10:00 and closes at 20:00. There is a full jumps card, so the shop trades a normal but compressed 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 21:00, the countdown is the more useful of the two figures.

Last bets and settling up

The published 21:00 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, plot a route from where you are standing, and open Street View so you can pick out the double frontage on a long street. Horsforth station is around fifteen minutes' walk and there is parking in the side streets off Town Street.

Other bookmakers in the area

Horsforth Town Street has a good mix of retail and hospitality, and a modest number of bookmakers.

Other chains hold premises licences on Town Street and in nearby Rodley and Bramley. Betting shops in this part of north-west Leeds generally close between 20:00 and 21:00, so the city-centre branches remain the option for a later bet.

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 Leeds City Council records the premises licences it has granted in Horsforth, north-west Leeds. Trading times appear in neither, which is why they have to be checked branch by branch.

About this shop

The shop takes a double frontage on the central stretch of Horsforth Town Street, among the independents and cafes. Buses run the length of Town Street with stops close to the door, and Horsforth station is a walk or short bus ride away.
