Leigh has four Betfred shops, three of them within half a mile of the town centre, and none of them trades until 22:00. King Street and Chapel Street close at 21:30, Bradshawgate at 21:00 and Westleigh Lane at 20:00, and on a Sunday the closes run from 18:00 to 21:00. Bradshawgate is the early opener, at 08:00 six days a week. A note on the times: Leigh is not covered by the directory we use for most towns, so these times come from a single, older business listing. They are the best available, but worth confirming with the shop before a special trip.

King Street is the longest-trading of the three: 08:30 to 21:30 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 21:00 on a Sunday. Bradshawgate, a couple of minutes away, opens earlier at 08:00 but closes earlier too, at 21:00, and shuts at 19:00 on a Sunday. Chapel Street runs 09:00 to 21:30 on weekdays, 08:30 to 21:30 on a Saturday and 09:30 to 20:30 on a Sunday. A William Hill on Bradshawgate and a Coral on Market Street are both within a minute or two. Distances are straight-line estimates from King Street. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.
Leigh Betfred opening times compared
The full weekly pattern for all four branches in one table, town-centre shops first. Today’s column is highlighted.
The four shops spread out at both ends of the day. Bradshawgate opens first at 08:00 but shuts at 21:00; King Street and Chapel Street run on to 21:30. Westleigh Lane is the neighbourhood shop, closing at 20:00. On a Sunday the gap widens: King Street stays open to 21:00, three hours after Westleigh Lane closes.

Earliest and latest Betfred shops in Leigh
Weekly times are listed for all four branches, so this section covers every shop on the page.
Open earliest
Bradshawgate opens at 08:00 Monday to Saturday, King Street at 08:30, and Chapel Street and Westleigh Lane at 09:00 on weekdays and 08:30 on a Saturday. On a Sunday, King Street and Bradshawgate open at 09:00 and the other two at 09:30.
Open latest
King Street and Chapel Street close at 21:30 Monday to Saturday, Bradshawgate at 21:00 and Westleigh Lane at 20:00. No Leigh Betfred reaches 22:00 on any day; for that, the nearest options are the Betfred on Market Street in Hindley, about five miles north-west, or the shops in Bolton town centre.
The one to remember: 6/8 King Street is the latest-trading Betfred in Leigh on every day of the week — 21:30 Monday to Saturday and 21:00 on a Sunday.
Betfred Leigh Sunday opening times
Sunday in Leigh runs from a 09:00 start to closes between 18:00 and 21:00.
| Shop | Opens | Closes | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| King Street6/8 King Street, WN7 4LR | 09:00 | 21:00 | |
| Chapel Street51 Chapel Street, WN7 2PB | 09:30 | 20:30 | |

| Westleigh (Westleigh Lane)71/73 Westleigh Lane, WN7 5JE | 09:30 | 18:00 |
King Street runs 09:00 to 21:00, Chapel Street 09:30 to 20:30, Bradshawgate 09:00 to 19:00 and Westleigh Lane 09:30 to 18:00. For a Sunday evening kick-off, King Street is the one still open.
Betfred Leigh bank holiday opening times
Betting shops in England 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 four Leigh branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, Leigh branches usually run either their normal times for that day of the week or a slightly shorter day. Betfred has in past years announced a chain-wide 20:00 close on bank holiday Mondays, which would take up to an hour and a half off the Leigh branches, so check the window card the week before. 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 Leigh branch to follow its usual pattern for that day.
| Day | Falls on | Next date | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good Friday | Friday before Easter Sunday | — | Normal weekday times |
| Easter Saturday | Saturday before Easter Sunday | — | Normal Saturday times |
| Easter Sunday | First Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March | — | Normal Sunday times |
| Easter Monday | Day after Easter Sunday | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
May and August bank holidays
The early May, spring and summer bank holidays all fall on a Monday. Check the window card or the Betfred shop finder the week before; a 20:00 bank holiday close would take up to ninety minutes off the Leigh branches and make no difference at the shop already closing at 20:00 or earlier.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early May bank holiday | First Monday in May | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
| Spring bank holiday | Last Monday in May | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
| Summer bank holiday | Last Monday in August | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
Christmas and New Year opening times
The festive fortnight is the only stretch of the year when Leigh 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.
| Day | Date | Next date | Usual pattern in Leigh |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas Eve | 24 December | — | Normal opening, early close around 18:00 |
| Christmas Day | 25 December | — | Closed all day, every shop |
| Boxing Day | 26 December | — | Normal opening, close around 20:00 |
| Substitute bank holiday | When 25 or 26 December falls on a weekend | — | Normal times for that day |
| New Year’s Eve | 31 December | — | Normal opening, early close around 18:00 |
| New Year’s Day | 1 January | — | Later start around 10:00, close around 20:00 |
Each Leigh branch sets its own festive times and usually posts them in the window from mid-December. The live countdowns on this page follow the standard weekly times and the Christmas Day closure only, so check the window card before travelling on 24, 26 or 31 December or 1 January.
How the live opening times work
Everything live on this page reads the clock in Leigh (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 three town-centre branches on King Street, Bradshawgate and Chapel Street. 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. Westleigh Lane has its own live row in the section below.
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 four Leigh branches.
Betfred across the rest of Leigh
One more branch sits on Westleigh Lane, about a mile north-west of the town centre.

Betfred, Westleigh (Westleigh Lane)71/73 Westleigh Lane, Westleigh, Leigh WN7 5JE
Westleigh Lane runs 09:00 to 20:00 on weekdays, 08:30 to 20:00 on a Saturday and 09:30 to 18:00 on a Sunday — the shortest hours of the four, as you would expect of a neighbourhood shop. It is the closest Betfred for Westleigh, Higher Folds and the Westhoughton side of town.
Betfred near Leigh
Leigh sits in the Wigan borough of Greater Manchester, and the neighbouring Betfred branches are listed under their own town names.
Atherton, about three miles north, has a Betfred on Bolton Road, and Tyldesley one on Elliott Street; Culcheth, across the border in Warrington, has one on Common Lane about three miles south. Wigan, seven miles north-west, has seven branches of its own. The licensing register also carries 92 Bradshawgate (WN7 4NP) as a Leigh Betfred, but it does not appear in any current listing, so we have not counted it.
All four branches on this page are licensed by Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council. Some directory sites file Leigh shops under Wigan, which is why a search for “Betfred Leigh” can come up short. If you are heading for Atherton, Tyldesley or Culcheth rather than Leigh itself, use the location button above: the directions button always routes to the nearest of the four Leigh branches.
Other bookmakers in Leigh
Leigh is one of the few towns covered on this site where Betfred has more shops than any other bookmaker.
Ladbrokes has three shops in Leigh, at 221 Chapel Street, the Spinning Gate centre and 38a–40b Leigh Road. Coral has two, on Market Street and Firs Lane, and William Hill trades at 4/6 Bradshawgate, a few doors from the Betfred.
We are still confirming full weekly times branch by branch for the non-Betfred shops in Leigh, so they are not listed with live status on this page yet. Bradshawgate and Market Street are the stretch to know: the Betfred, a William Hill and a Coral are all within a minute of each other. Betfred has more shops in Leigh than any other single brand. Every bookmaker in the borough is closed on Christmas Day by law.

Leigh has four branches, three of them clustered in the town centre around the Spinning Gate, and Betfred has more shops here than any other brand.
For visitors, King Street is the one to know: in the middle of the town centre by the Spinning Gate centre and the bus station, and open until 21:30 six days a week. Leigh has no railway station, but the Leigh Guided Busway runs to Manchester from the edge of the centre. For Leigh Leopards at Leigh Sports Village, about a mile south-east, King Street and Bradshawgate are the nearest branches.
