Betfred Berry Lane, Longridge opening times
Betfred, 29-33 Berry Lane, Longridge, Preston, PR3 3JA. Licensed by Ribble Valley Borough Council, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.
This Betfred is on Berry Lane in Longridge, the main shopping street of this Ribble Valley town. It is a small-town shop with a loyal following. 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.

| Tuesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Afternoon racing brings in the regulars; the evening is relaxed. |
| Wednesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Midweek football is the main evening draw. |
| Thursday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Steady afternoon trade and a lift for the evening football. |

| Sunday | 09:30 – 22:00 | Later start; Premier League and Sunday racing run through the afternoon. |
Weekend footfall from the surrounding shops makes Saturday the busiest day at Betfred Berry Lane, Longridge. Sunday trading is lighter, with the afternoon Premier League games the main draw.
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 Berry Lane, Longridge is closed on Christmas Day by law.
