Bank holiday opening times
Bank holidays are normal trading days for betting shops in England and Wales, with a single legal exception. The Gambling Act 2005 attaches a condition to every betting premises licence that rules out gambling on Christmas Day, so 25 December is a closure by law.
The tables below show the pattern Betfred Baxter Gate usually follows, from Easter to New Year.
Easter opening times
There are no legal restrictions on betting shops opening over Easter in Great Britain: Good Friday trading has been allowed since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force. Expect normal times across the four days.
| 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
The early May bank holiday and the spring bank holiday both follow ordinary Monday times in Loughborough: 09:00 to 22:00.
| 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
The August bank holiday brings a full racing programme and, most years, Premier League football, so the afternoon is 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
Christmas is the only time of year when the weekly pattern changes. The shop is closed by law on Christmas Day, finishes early on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, and runs near-normal days in between, when the racing calendar is at its fullest.
| 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
Expect the usual 09:00 open and an early close at around 18:00. Racing runs through the afternoon, so the busiest spell is the middle of the day; by early evening the shop is quiet.
Boxing Day
Boxing Day is the biggest day of the year for high-street bookmakers, built around the King George VI Chase at Kempton and a card of meetings across the country. The shop opens as normal and closes a little earlier, around 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
New Year’s Day is a bank holiday with a later start than usual, typically around 10:00, and an earlier close in the evening. There is a full jumps racing card, so the shop is open and trading, just on a compressed day.
Festive times vary slightly from branch to branch. Betfred Baxter Gate 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 status panel at the top of the page works from the current UK time and the published times for Betfred Baxter Gate, so the open or closed flag, today’s close and the countdown are always current. A few details on how it behaves:
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
Cash betting at the counter stops a few minutes before the published close while staff settle slips and cash up. If you have winnings to collect at Betfred Baxter Gate, get there at least ten minutes before closing.
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. Loughborough station is about twelve minutes’ walk, and buses serve the town and the university campus.
