Betfred Ashton New Road opening times
Betfred, 586a and 586f Ashton New Road, Manchester, M11 4SG. Licensed by Manchester City Council, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.
This Betfred is on the Clayton stretch of Ashton New Road, the tram-lined route that carries Metrolink east from the city centre towards Droylsden and Ashton-under-Lyne. It is a local shop for Clayton and the surrounding streets, open until 22:00 every night.
| Day | Opens | Closes | Time open |
|---|
Before you travel: times at individual Betfred shops can change at short notice for staffing, refurbishment or big sporting fixtures. Ring the shop or check the Betfred store finder if you are making a special trip late in the evening.
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 | Manchester City midweek home games fill nearby streets; allow extra time. |
| Thursday | 09:00 – 22:00 | European football coverage runs into the evening. |
| Friday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Busy from late afternoon as weekend accumulators go on. |
Weekend opening times
The weekend times bookend the weekday pattern: 08:30 on Saturday, 09:30 on Sunday.
| Day | Opening times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 08:30 – 22:00 | Earliest open of the week, ahead of the day’s racing and the 15:00 football. |
| Sunday | 09:30 – 22:00 | Opens at 09:30; Sunday football dominates the screens. |
Saturday is comfortably the busiest day at this branch. If you want a machine or a seat for the afternoon racing, arriving before midday makes a real difference. On Manchester City home matchdays the surrounding roads get very busy before and after kick-off, so allow extra time.
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 Ashton New Road usually follows, from Easter to New Year.
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.
| 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 |
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.
May bank holiday opening times
May has two bank holidays and the shop treats both as ordinary Mondays, opening at 09:00 and closing at 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
Normal Monday times apply on the summer bank holiday. With racing across the country, the shop fills up from lunchtime.
| 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 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
A normal morning start and an early finish at around 18:00. Bets for the New Year’s Day 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.
Bank holiday times listed here reflect the pattern Betfred shops in Greater Manchester usually follow. Individual branches set their own festive times and a card is normally posted in the window from around mid-December. Check that card or the Betfred store finder before travelling 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
Open means the shop is inside its published trading times right now. Closed means it is outside them, and the countdown switches to show how long until the doors open again. If the shop is due to close within the hour, the countdown is the number to watch.
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
Use the buttons at the top of the page to open the shop in Google Maps, plot a route from your current position, or preview the street in Street View. Trams run along Ashton New Road itself and Clayton Hall stop is a short walk away. On Manchester City home matchdays the road gets very busy with traffic and supporters heading for the Etihad Stadium, under a mile to the west, so allow extra time around kick-off.
