Betfred Opening Times, 61a Top Moor Side, Leeds LS11 9LH

Betfred Holbeck opening times

Betfred, 61a Top Moor Side, Leeds, LS11 9LH. Licensed by Leeds City Council, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.

Top Moor Side runs along the northern edge of Holbeck Moor, a few minutes south of the city centre but a world away from it in character. This is a small local shop serving the surrounding terraces, and it keeps the shortest hours of any Betfred in inner Leeds — a 10:00 start and a 20:00 close, well short of the fourteen-hour days at the Vicar Lane and Bond Street branches a mile north.

Weekday opening times

The weekday pattern here is a straight 10:00 to 20:00, Monday through Friday.

The ten-hour day is the defining thing about this branch. It opens after the first races of the day and closes before the late football finishes, so it is very much an afternoon shop.

Weekend opening times

Saturday opens an hour earlier at 09:00. Sunday is the shortest day of the week.

Saturday afternoon is the busiest stretch. The Sunday 18:00 close is early even by Holbeck standards, so check before travelling on a Sunday evening.

Bank holiday opening times

Betting shops in England and Wales may open on every bank holiday except one. The Gambling Act 2005 requires each premises licence to carry a condition barring gambling facilities on Christmas Day, so no betting shop in Great Britain trades on 25 December.

Bank holidays here follow the neighbourhood. The shop runs its normal ten-hour Monday, and because the trade is local rather than commercial, bank holiday Mondays are usually a little busier than an ordinary Monday.

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 weekend pattern here, 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 a full racing day and one of the busier bank holidays at this branch.

May bank holiday opening times

Both May bank holidays are normal Monday trading days at 10:00 to 20:00. Holbeck Moor is well used on a fine bank holiday, which brings a little passing trade.

August bank holiday opening times

The August bank holiday brings a heavy afternoon racing card, which suits this branch's afternoon-led trading pattern. Expect it to be busy from lunchtime to early evening.

Christmas opening times

Christmas is the only period where the times here change meaningfully, and because the standard day is already short, the festive adjustments are smaller than at other branches. Christmas Day is closed by law.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve keeps the normal 10:00 open with an early close at around 18:00, which is only two hours short of the usual finish. It is a full racing day, so the afternoon is busy.

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 20:00 close.

New Year opening times

New Year’s Eve

New Year's Eve follows the Christmas Eve pattern with a normal morning open and an 18:00 close. Anything for the New Year's Day cards needs to go on during the afternoon.

New Year’s Day

New Year's Day opens at around 10:00, the same as any other day here, and closes at 20:00. There is a full jumps card, so the shop trades a normal day.

How the live opening times panel works

The status board at the top of the page is not a static timetable. It takes the live Leeds clock, measures it against the times published for this branch, and refreshes the reading every second.

What the status means

Open tells you the shop is inside its trading window as of now. Closed tells you it is not, and the countdown becomes a wait-until-open figure instead. If you are cutting it fine before the 20:00 close, watch the countdown rather than the clock.

Last bets and settling up

Last cash bets go on a little before the 20:00 close so the day can be settled and the till reconciled. That few minutes catches people out most often on payouts, so build in some slack if you are collecting.

Getting there

The buttons at the top of the page pin the shop, route you from where you are standing, and open Street View. Top Moor Side has on-street parking on the residential stretches, and the city centre is around twenty minutes' walk north.

Other bookmakers in the area

Holbeck sits between the city centre and the south Leeds estates, and has a modest number of betting shops of its own.

Other chains hold premises licences along Dewsbury Road and Domestic Street, and the much larger cluster of city-centre shops is around twenty minutes' walk north. If you want later times, that walk is usually the answer.

Licensing records are the reliable source for who trades nearby. The Gambling Commission lists every licensed betting premises in Great Britain on its public register, and Leeds City Council maintains its own register of premises licences granted locally. Opening times are not part of either dataset and have to be confirmed with the operator.

About this shop

The shop is on Top Moor Side along the northern edge of Holbeck Moor, in a small run of local shops among the terraces. Buses on Dewsbury Road and Domestic Street stop within a few minutes' walk, and the city centre is a straightforward walk north.

Frequently asked questions

What time does Betfred on Top Moor Side open?

It opens at 10:00 Monday to Friday and Sunday, and 09:00 on Saturday.

What time does Betfred Holbeck close?

It closes at 20:00 Monday to Saturday and 18:00 on Sunday, making it one of the earliest-closing Betfred shops in inner Leeds.

Is Betfred Holbeck open on Sundays?

Yes, from 10:00 to 18:00. That is the shortest trading day of the week here.

Why does this branch keep shorter hours than other Leeds shops?

It is a small shop serving the surrounding terraces rather than a high-footfall street, and its trade is concentrated in the afternoon rather than early morning or late evening.

Is the shop open on Christmas Day?

No. Under the Gambling Act 2005 every betting premises licence carries a condition prohibiting gambling on Christmas Day, so this is a legal closure rather than a commercial decision. The shop is back open on 26 December from 10:00.

Is Betfred open on Good Friday and Easter Sunday?

Both days are open. Since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force, Good Friday has been a permitted trading day, and Easter Sunday was never restricted in Great Britain to begin with. Times are 10:00 – 20:00 on Good Friday and 10:00 – 18:00 on Easter Sunday.

What are the bank holiday opening times?

May and August bank holidays follow normal Monday times of 10:00 to 20:00. Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve close at around 18:00, and Boxing Day and New Year's Day both run 10:00 to 20:00.

Is there a Betfred nearby that opens earlier or closes later?

Yes. The 41 Vicar Lane and Bond Street branches in the city centre both open at 08:00 and trade until 22:00, around twenty minutes' walk north.
