Betfred Opening Times, 66 Street Lane, Leeds LS8 2DQ

Betfred Street Lane opening times

Betfred, 66 Street Lane, Leeds, LS8 2DQ. Licensed by Leeds City Council, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.

Street Lane runs from the Roundhay Park end through to Moortown Corner, and the shop sits on the shopping parade among the cafes, delis and estate agents. It is a very different customer base from the inner-city branches: quieter mornings, an afternoon and early-evening peak, and a genuine 21:00 close because there is not the late-night trade to justify staying open longer.

Weekday opening times

Every weekday follows the same shape: open at 09:00, close at 21:00.

The trading day here is twelve hours rather than the thirteen or fourteen you get closer to the centre. In practice the evening is the part that gets cut, so the shop shuts before the late football finishes.

Weekend opening times

Saturday opens earliest at 08:30. Sunday is the shortest day of the week.

Saturday morning is the busiest stretch at this branch, with the parade at its fullest and the day's racing about to start. Sunday is noticeably quieter and finishes at 20:00.

Bank holiday opening times

Betting shops in England and Wales can trade on every bank holiday but one. The Gambling Act 2005 writes a condition into every premises licence barring gambling on Christmas Day, which is why no betting shop in Great Britain opens on 25 December.

Bank holidays here follow the neighbourhood rather than the racing calendar. The parade stays fairly busy on a bank holiday Monday, so the shop runs its normal Monday times, closing at 21:00 as usual.

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 carries no restriction in Great Britain. Expect the normal weekend pattern over the Easter weekend, including the shorter Easter Sunday.

There is no British racing on Good Friday, so trade runs on football, greyhounds and the Irish and overseas cards. Easter Monday is a full racing day and one of the better bank holidays at this branch.

May bank holiday opening times

Both May bank holidays are normal Monday trading days at 09:00 to 21:00. Roundhay Park is busy on a fine May bank holiday, which brings extra passing trade down Street Lane.

August bank holiday opening times

The summer bank holiday carries a heavy afternoon card. Expect the shop to be busy through the afternoon, though it still closes at the usual 21:00.

Christmas opening times

Christmas is the only period where the times here move away from the weekly pattern. Christmas Day is closed by law. 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 opens at the usual 09:00 with an early finish around 18:00. The parade is busy that morning with people picking up food and last-minute gifts, and the shop follows the same rhythm.

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, an hour earlier than a standard Saturday.

New Year opening times

New Year’s Eve

New Year's Eve mirrors Christmas Eve: a standard morning open and an early evening close at around 18:00. Put anything for the New Year's Day cards on during the afternoon.

New Year’s Day

New Year's Day starts 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

Rather than simply listing a timetable, the panel at the top of the page works out where the current Leeds time falls within this branch's trading day and updates itself as the day goes on.

What the status means

Open means the shop is trading as you read this. Closed means the clock is outside the published window and the countdown has switched to the wait until opening. With 21:00 approaching, the countdown is the number to go by.

Last bets and settling up

The counter stops taking cash bets a few minutes ahead of the 21:00 close so staff can settle the day's slips and cash up the till. If you are collecting winnings, treat the published time as a deadline you want to beat by ten minutes rather than meet exactly.

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 see the parade. Street Lane has limited on-street parking with time restrictions along the shopping stretch, so check the signs.

Other bookmakers in the area

North Leeds has fewer betting shops per head than the inner-city districts, and those it has tend to keep shorter evenings.

Other chains hold premises licences on the parades at Moortown Corner and Oakwood, and on Harrogate Road a little further west. As a rule, betting shops in this part of Leeds close between 20:00 and 21:00 rather than 22:00, so a late bet usually means heading towards Harehills or the city centre.

If you want the definitive list rather than an approximation, check the registers. The Gambling Commission's premises register covers licensed betting shops across Great Britain by operator and address, and Leeds City Council publishes its own record of the licences it has granted locally. Be aware that neither register carries opening times.

About this shop

The shop is on the Street Lane shopping parade between the Roundhay Park end and Moortown Corner, in a run of cafes, food shops and offices. Buses run along Street Lane in both directions with stops on the parade itself.

Frequently asked questions

What time does Betfred Street Lane close?

It closes at 21:00 Monday to Saturday and 20:00 on Sunday, an hour earlier than the Leeds city-centre branches. Today's exact closing time is shown live at the top of the page.

Is Betfred Street Lane open on Sundays?

Yes, from 10:00 to 20:00. Sunday is the shortest trading day of the week here.

Why does this branch close earlier than other Betfred shops in Leeds?

It serves a residential neighbourhood rather than a city-centre or high-footfall location, and there is not enough late-evening trade to justify staying open until 22:00.

Is the shop open on Christmas Day?

No, and no other betting shop in Great Britain opens either. The Gambling Act 2005 attaches a condition to every betting premises licence barring gambling facilities on 25 December, so Street Lane closes that day as a matter of law. It reopens on Boxing Day at 09:00.

Is Betfred open on Good Friday and Easter Sunday?

Open on both. Betting shops in England and Wales have been free to trade on Good Friday since the Gambling Act 2005 took effect, and Easter Sunday carries no restriction in Great Britain. That means 09:00 – 21:00 on the Friday and 10:00 – 20:00 on the Sunday.

What are the bank holiday opening times?

May and August bank holidays follow normal Monday times of 09:00 to 21:00. Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve close early at around 18:00, Boxing Day runs 09:00 to 20:00 and New Year's Day 10:00 to 20:00.
