Betfred Yeadon opening times
Betfred, 79 High Street, Yeadon, Leeds, LS19 7SP. Licensed by Leeds City Council, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.
Yeadon High Street runs through the middle of the town past the town hall, a few minutes from Leeds Bradford Airport. This is one of the northernmost Betfred branches in the Leeds district and one of the shortest-trading, closing at 20:00 on weekdays. Trade is entirely local, and the day is built around the afternoon racing rather than the late football.
| Day | Opens | Closes | Time open |
|---|
Before you travel: the 20:00 close and 18:00 Sunday finish are early compared with the Leeds branches. If you are travelling from the city, check the time before setting off.
Weekday opening times
Every weekday follows the same shape: open at 09:00, close at 20:00.
| Weekday | Opening times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 09:00 – 20:00 | Quiet Monday; the High Street is slow until mid-morning. |
| Tuesday | 09:00 – 20:00 | Afternoon racing is the main draw of the day. |
| Wednesday | 09:00 – 20:00 | Midweek football fills the early evening before the 20:00 close. |
| Thursday | 09:00 – 20:00 | Steady afternoon trade from the town centre. |
| Friday | 09:00 – 20:00 | Busiest weekday, with the weekend bets going on. |
The eleven-hour day means this is very much an afternoon shop. It opens in time for the day's racing but closes before the late kick-offs finish.
Weekend opening times
Saturday opens earliest at 08:30. Sunday is much the shortest day.
| Day | Opening times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 08:30 – 20:00 | 08:30 to 20:00, the longest day of the week here. |
| Sunday | 10:00 – 18:00 | 10:00 to 18:00; closes before the Sunday evening football. |
Saturday is the busiest day on the High Street and in the shop. The Sunday 18:00 close is early, so it is worth checking before travelling on a Sunday evening.
Bank holiday opening times
Betting shops in England and Wales may trade on every bank holiday except one. Under the Gambling Act 2005 every premises licence carries a condition preventing gambling facilities on Christmas Day, so the 25 December closure is required by law.
Yeadon is quiet on bank holidays compared with a working day, but local trade holds up and this branch 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, including the short Easter Sunday.
| Day | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good Friday | Friday before Easter Sunday | — | 09:00 – 20:00 |
| Easter Saturday | Saturday before Easter Sunday | — | 08:30 – 20:00 |
| Easter Sunday | First Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March | — | 10:00 – 18:00 |
| Easter Monday | Day after Easter Sunday | — | 09:00 – 20:00 |
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 among the busier bank holidays here.
May bank holiday opening times
Both May bank holidays are normal Monday trading days at 09:00 to 20:00.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early May bank holiday | First Monday in May | — | 09:00 – 20:00 |
| Spring bank holiday | Last Monday in May | — | 09:00 – 20:00 |
August bank holiday opening times
The August bank holiday brings a heavy afternoon racing card, which suits this branch's afternoon-led pattern. Expect a busy afternoon before the usual 20:00 close.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summer bank holiday | Last Monday in August | — | 09:00 – 20:00 |
Christmas opening times
Christmas is the only period when the times here change, and because the standard day is already short the adjustments are modest. Christmas Day is closed by law, and Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve finish a couple of hours early.
| Day | Date | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas Eve | 24 December | — | 09:00 – 18:00 |
| Christmas Day | 25 December | — | Closed all day |
| Boxing Day | 26 December | — | 09:00 – 20:00 |
| 27 to 30 December | Between the holidays | — | Normal times, close 20:00 – 20:00 |
| Substitute bank holiday | When 25 or 26 December falls on a weekend | — | 09:00 – 20:00 |
| New Year's Eve | 31 December | — | 09:00 – 18:00 |
| New Year's Day | 1 January | — | 10:00 – 20:00 |
Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve keeps the normal 09:00 open with an early close at around 18:00. It is a full racing day and the High Street is busy that morning.
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 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 should go on during the afternoon.
New Year’s Day
New Year's Day opens at around 10:00 and closes at 20:00, the same as a normal weekday evening here. There is a full jumps card, so the shop trades normally.
Because this branch already runs a shorter day, its festive times differ less from the norm than at the Leeds city shops. From roughly mid-December a card is normally displayed in the window setting out the branch's own festive times, which is worth a look before travelling.
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 20:00 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 20:00 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, route you from where you are standing, and open Street View. There is on-street parking along the High Street and in the side streets, and Leeds Bradford Airport is a few minutes away by road.
