Betfred Lowfields Centre opening times
Betfred, Unit 11, Lowfields Centre, Brant Road, Lincoln, LN5 9TR. Licensed by North Kesteven District Council, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.
This Betfred is in the Lowfields Centre on Brant Road, on the southern edge of Lincoln in North Kesteven. It is a neighbourhood shop with a regular crowd. It keeps standard Betfred high-street times, with a 22:00 close every night.
| Day | Opens | Closes | Time open |
|---|
Why 22:00? Betting premises licences in England and Wales carry a default condition under the Gambling Act 2005 that bars gambling between 22:00 and 07:00 unless the licensing authority removes it, which is why most high-street bookmakers close at 22:00. Individual branch times can still change at short notice, so check before a late trip.
Weekday opening times
Monday to Friday, the shop opens at 09:00 and trades through to late evening.
| Weekday | Opening times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Short queues all day, with a small rush for the afternoon racing. |
| Tuesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Afternoon racing keeps things ticking over; evenings are relaxed. |
| Wednesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Midweek football nights are the busiest evening slot. |
| Thursday | 09:00 – 22:00 | European football coverage runs into the evening. |
| Friday | 09:00 – 22:00 | The fullest weekday: coupons for Saturday go on from lunchtime. |
Weekend opening times
Saturday opens earlier than any other day. Sunday opens latest but still trades late.
| Day | Opening times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 08:30 – 22:00 | Doors open at 08:30 for the morning racing previews and the day’s first coupons. |
| Sunday | 09:30 – 22:00 | Later start; Premier League and Sunday racing run through the afternoon. |
Saturday afternoons are the peak here as regulars follow the racing and the 15:00 kick-offs. Sunday mornings are the quietest time of the whole weekend.
Bank holiday opening times
There is only one day of the year when this shop cannot open: Christmas Day. Every betting premises licence issued under the Gambling Act 2005 carries a condition barring gambling on 25 December. Every other bank holiday is a trading day.
Elsewhere in the calendar, expect either normal times or a slightly shorter day. Here is how the bank holidays usually look at Betfred Lowfields Centre.
Easter opening times
Betting shops have been permitted to open on Good Friday since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force, and there is no legal restriction on Easter Sunday trading in Great Britain. Expect this shop to run a normal weekend pattern across the Easter weekend.
| Day | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good Friday | Friday before Easter Sunday | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
| Easter Saturday | Saturday before Easter Sunday | — | 08:30 – 22:00 |
| Easter Sunday | First Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March | — | 09:30 – 22:00 |
| Easter Monday | Day after Easter Sunday | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
For racing fans the Easter weekend has two standout days: Good Friday, home to the All-Weather Championships finals since 2014, and Easter Monday, which brings one of the busiest jumps programmes of the spring.
May bank holiday opening times
There are two May bank holidays: the early May Monday and the spring bank holiday at the end of the month. Both are normal Monday trading days here.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early May bank holiday | First Monday in May | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
| Spring bank holiday | Last Monday in May | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
August bank holiday opening times
Summer bank holiday Monday, at the end of August, keeps normal Monday times of 09:00 to 22:00 at Betfred Lowfields Centre. The afternoon is usually the busiest part of the day.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summer bank holiday | Last Monday in August | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
Christmas opening times
The Christmas fortnight is the one stretch of the year when times at this shop genuinely differ from the weekly pattern. Christmas Day is a legally enforced closure. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve usually finish early, and the days between Christmas and New Year run close to normal because 26 and 27 December are two of the biggest racing days of the year.
| 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 – 22:00 |
| Substitute bank holiday | When 25 or 26 December falls on a weekend | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
| New Year's Eve | 31 December | — | 09:00 – 18:00 |
| New Year's Day | 1 January | — | 10:00 – 20:00 |
Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve is a normal opening time with an early finish, typically around 18:00, so staff can get away for the evening. The last cash bets go on well before then. It is a full racing day, so the shop is often busy through the middle of the afternoon before emptying out sharply.
Boxing Day
Boxing Day brings the King George VI Chase at Kempton and a full national racing card, which makes it one of the busiest days of the year in Bracebridge Heath. The shop opens as normal and usually closes at about 20:00.
New Year opening times
New Year’s Eve
New Year’s Eve mirrors Christmas Eve: a standard morning open with an early evening close, usually around 18:00. If you want a bet on the evening football or the New Year’s Day cards, place it during the afternoon.
New Year’s Day
On 1 January, Betfred Lowfields Centre normally opens around 10:00 and closes around 20:00. There is a full jumps racing programme, so it is a proper trading day, just a shorter one.
Festive times vary slightly from branch to branch. Betfred Lowfields Centre normally puts its Christmas times in the window from mid-December; check them, or the Betfred store finder, before a trip on 24, 26 or 31 December.
How the live opening times panel works
The live panel checks UK time against the trading times in the tables above, so the open or closed status, today’s closing time and the countdown update every second. Here is how to read it.
What the status means
When the panel shows Open, the current UK time falls inside today’s trading times. Closed means it does not, and the countdown then runs to the next opening instead of the next close. Within the final hour, keep an eye on the countdown.
Last bets and settling up
Staff stop taking cash bets shortly before the published close so they can settle slips and cash up. To collect winnings, arrive at least ten minutes before the doors shut.
Getting there
Three Google Maps shortcuts sit at the top of the page: a pin on the shop, directions from your current location, and a Street View preview of the street. Buses from Brant Road run into Lincoln city centre in about fifteen minutes. Hykeham station is about a mile and three-quarters west.
