Betfred Opening Times, 48 Town Street, Armley, Leeds LS12 3AA

Betfred Armley opening times

Betfred, 48 Town Street, Armley, Leeds, LS12 3AA. Licensed by Leeds City Council, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.

Armley Town Street is the main shopping street in west Leeds, and the shop sits in the busiest stretch among the food shops, banks and cafes. Town Street carries genuine all-day footfall rather than just estate trade, which is why this branch holds a 22:00 close six days a week where the smaller parade shops in south and east Leeds close at 21:00.

Weekday opening times

Monday to Friday is a consistent 09:00 to 22:00 at this branch.

Town Street's all-day footfall means this branch is busier through the middle of the day than the estate shops, and it holds its trade into the evening rather than tailing off after six.

Weekend opening times

Saturday opens earliest at 08:30 and keeps the late close. Sunday starts at 09:30 and finishes an hour earlier.

Saturday is the busiest day on Town Street and in the shop, with a full racing card and the afternoon football. Sunday closes at 21:00 rather than 22:00.

Bank holiday opening times

Betting shops in England and Wales are free to trade on every bank holiday but one. The Gambling Act 2005 attaches a condition to every premises licence preventing gambling on Christmas Day, so the 25 December closure is required by law.

Armley Town Street stays busy on bank holiday Mondays, so this branch generally runs full Monday times rather than a shortened day.

Easter opening times

Good Friday trading has been lawful for betting shops since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force, and Easter Sunday has never carried a restriction in Great Britain. Expect the normal weekend pattern 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 a busy one on Town Street.

May bank holiday opening times

Both May bank holidays are normal Monday trading days at 09:00 to 22:00, and Town Street is typically busy on both.

August bank holiday opening times

The summer bank holiday combines a heavy afternoon racing card with a busy shopping street, making it one of the fuller days of the year at this branch.

Christmas opening times

Christmas is the only period when the times here genuinely differ from the weekly pattern. 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 and the shop is usually full through the early afternoon.

Boxing Day

Boxing Day is the busiest single day of the betting shop year, anchored by the King George VI Chase at Kempton. Expect a full morning and a strong afternoon here, closing at 20:00.

New Year opening times

New Year’s Eve

New Year's Eve mirrors Christmas Eve: normal morning open with an 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

The panel at the top of this page compares the current time in Leeds against the trading times for Armley and updates every second, so the status line, the closing time and the countdown are never stale.

What the status means

Open means the clock is inside the published trading window. Closed means it is outside it, and the countdown flips over to show how long until the doors open again. Once the shop is inside the last hour before 22:00, the countdown is the figure worth watching.

Last bets and settling up

Cash betting closes slightly before the 22:00 shutter, because the day's slips have to be settled and the till cashed up before staff can leave. Anyone collecting a payout should aim to be through the door with ten minutes to spare.

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 frontage on a busy street. Parking on Town Street is restricted, so the side streets towards Armley Park are usually easier.

Other bookmakers in the area
