Leicester Betfred opening times compared

The full weekly pattern for every city branch in one table. Today’s column is highlighted.

Shackerdale Road is the only branch with identical hours all seven days, 09:00 to 21:00. Horsefair Street and Belgrave Gate come closest, running 08:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 22:00 on a Sunday. Four open earlier on a Saturday than on a weekday — Uppingham Road and Aikman Avenue at 08:00, Eyres Monsell and Thurncourt Road at 08:30 — and none closes earlier on a Saturday than on a weekday. Netherhall Road is the one branch that stays open an hour later on a Sunday than during the week.

Earliest and latest Betfred shops in Leicester

Full weekly times are published for all 12 Leicester branches, so this section covers every shop on the page.

Open earliest

No Leicester Betfred opens before 08:00. Only the two city-centre branches, Horsefair Street and Belgrave Gate, start that early on a weekday; both Loughborough shops open at 08:30, and the remaining eight at 09:00. Saturday is the earliest morning across the estate: six branches bring their opening time forward, with Uppingham Road, Aikman Avenue, Birstall and Blaby all opening at 08:00.

Open latest

Four branches trade until 22:00 on weekdays: Horsefair Street, Belgrave Gate, Uppingham Road in Humberstone and Cattle Market in Loughborough. Three more finish at 21:30 — Aikman Avenue, Birstall and Blaby — and the earliest closing times are 20:30, at Thurncourt Road in Thurnby Lodge and Gorse Covert in Loughborough.

Betfred Leicester Sunday opening times

Sunday is simple in Leicester: every one of the 12 branches opens at 09:00. The only difference is the closing time, which runs from 18:00 to 22:00.

Five of the 12 stay open until 22:00 on a Sunday: Horsefair Street, Belgrave Gate, Uppingham Road, Netherhall Road and Cattle Market in Loughborough. That makes Leicester a better city than most for the Sunday evening football — only Gorse Covert in Loughborough, at 18:00, closes before 20:30.

Betfred Leicester bank holiday opening times

Betting shops in England and Wales can trade on every bank holiday bar one. Premises licences issued under the Gambling Act 2005 carry a condition that gambling facilities cannot be provided on Christmas Day, so all 12 Leicester branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.

On the other bank holidays, Leicester branches usually run either their normal times for that day of the week or a slightly shorter day. Dates in the tables below update automatically.

Easter opening times

Betting shops have been allowed to open on Good Friday since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force, and there is no Easter Sunday restriction in Great Britain. Across the Easter weekend, expect each Leicester branch to follow its usual pattern for that day.

May and August bank holidays

The early May, spring and summer bank holidays all fall on a Monday. Betfred has in past years announced a chain-wide early close on some bank holiday Mondays, so check the window card or the Betfred shop finder the week before.

Christmas and New Year opening times

The festive fortnight is the only stretch of the year when Leicester times move far from the weekly pattern. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve normally finish early, Boxing Day — the biggest racing day of the winter — runs close to normal, and New Year’s Day starts later.

How the live opening times work

Everything live on this page reads the clock in Leicester (UK time), not the clock on your device, and compares it against each shop’s published times. That keeps the status right even if you are checking from abroad.

The panel at the top

The top panel covers the eight Betfred branches inside Leicester city. It tells you how many are open right now, which is next to close, and how long until the last one shuts for the night. After the last close it switches to counting down to the first shop opening the next morning.

The shop rows

Open now means the shop is inside its published times and the countdown shows how long is left. Closed shows when it opens next. Counters stop taking cash bets a few minutes before closing so staff can settle slips, so if you are collecting winnings, aim to arrive ten minutes before the time shown.

Map, directions and Street View

Each row has three buttons. Map drops a pin on the shop, Directions plans a route from wherever you are, and Street View shows the street around the shop so you can spot the frontage before you set off. Tap “Use my current location” and the lists re-order themselves so the closest shop is always at the top, and the directions button points to the nearest of all 12 Leicester branches.

Betfred in Birstall, Blaby and Loughborough

Four more Betfred branches carry a Leicester address but sit outside the city boundary: three in Charnwood, at Birstall and two in Loughborough, and one in the Blaby district. All four publish full weekly times, so their live status is as exact as the city shops’.

About Betfred in Leicester

Betfred began in Salford in 1967, when brothers Fred and Peter Done opened their first betting shop, and it runs its estate from Birchwood in Warrington. Leicester is a compact operation by comparison with the company’s northern heartland: 12 shops in total, against 31 in Manchester and 32 in Liverpool. Two sit in the city centre on either side of the Clock Tower, at Horsefair Street and Belgrave Gate. The other six city branches ring the suburbs — New Parks and Aikman Avenue to the west, Shackerdale Road and Eyres Monsell to the south, and Netherhall, Uppingham Road and Thurncourt Road across the east.

For rail travellers, 11 Horsefair Street is about a ten-minute walk from Leicester station and the closest branch to it, with 26 Belgrave Gate a few minutes further north. On matchdays, Horsefair Street is also the nearest Betfred to both the King Power Stadium, roughly a mile south-west, and Mattioli Woods Welford Road, home of Leicester Tigers. Leicester racecourse at Oadby is best served by the Wigston branch listed above. Loughborough’s Cattle Market shop sits a short walk from the town’s station and market place.

Nearly all Leicester branches open at 09:00 on weekdays. The two city-centre shops, Horsefair Street and Belgrave Gate, open at 08:00, and both Loughborough branches at 08:30.
