Bank holiday opening times
Betting shops in England and Wales face no special bank holiday restrictions, with one exception. The Gambling Act 2005 attaches a condition to every betting premises licence that prevents gambling on 25 December, so Betfred Craven Park Road is closed on Christmas Day by law.
On all other bank holidays, Betfred branches generally run either their normal times or a shortened day. The tables below set out what to expect at Betfred Craven Park Road.
Easter opening times
Good Friday opening has been allowed since the Gambling Act 2005 took effect, and Easter Sunday carries no trading restriction in Great Britain, so the Easter weekend here looks much like any other.

|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
Good Friday has carried British racing since 2014, when the All-Weather Championships Finals Day was first staged on it, so there is a proper afternoon card alongside football and greyhounds. Easter Monday is one of the fullest jumps racing days of the spring.

Christmas opening times
At Betfred Craven Park Road, the weekly pattern holds for almost the whole year and only changes over Christmas and New Year. Christmas Day is a legal closure, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve finish early, and the days in between stay close to normal because the racing calendar is at its busiest.

| New Year's Eve | 31 December | — | 09:00 – 18:00 |
| New Year's Day | 1 January | — | 10:00 – 20:00 |
Christmas Eve
The shop opens at the normal time on Christmas Eve and closes early, typically around 18:00. Last cash bets are taken a little before that, and the shop empties quickly once the racing finishes.
Boxing Day
Boxing Day is the busiest single day in the betting shop calendar. Expect a full morning open and a strong afternoon around the King George VI Chase at Kempton, with a slightly earlier close than a standard Saturday.
New Year opening times
New Year’s Eve
On New Year’s Eve, Betfred Craven Park Road opens at its usual time and closes early, generally around 18:00. Bets on the next day’s racing are best placed in the afternoon.
New Year’s Day
The shop usually opens a little later, around 10:00, and closes around 20:00. With a full programme of jumps racing, it is still a busy trading day.
Festive times vary slightly from branch to branch. Betfred Craven Park Road 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
The flag reads Open during published trading times and Closed outside them. While the shop is closed, the countdown shows the time until it next opens; while it is open, it shows the time until closing, which matters most in the last hour.
Last bets and settling up
Counters stop taking cash bets a few minutes before the published closing time so staff can settle the day’s slips and cash up. If you are collecting winnings, aim to be in the shop at least ten minutes before close.
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. Harlesden station, on the Bakerloo line and the Overground, is about ten minutes’ walk south, and Willesden Junction is a similar distance. Numerous bus routes, including the 18 and 260, meet in the town centre.
