Northampton Betfred opening times compared

The full weekly pattern for all ten branches in one table, nearest the town centre first. Today’s column is highlighted.

Most of Northampton’s shops follow the same shape: 09:00 to 22:00 on weekdays, an earlier 08:00 start on a Saturday, and 09:00 or 09:30 to 22:00 on a Sunday. The exceptions are worth knowing. Kettering Road, Harlestone Road and Broadway East close earlier during the week, at 21:30 or 21:00 — but Kettering Road and Broadway East then stay open until 22:00 on a Sunday. And the Weston Favell Centre shop, the only one besides The Parade to open at 08:00 on weekdays, closes at 16:00 on a Sunday.

Earliest and latest Betfred shops in Northampton

Full weekly times are published for all ten branches, so this section covers every shop on the page.

Open earliest

The Parade and the Weston Favell Centre open at 08:00 on weekdays; the other eight at 09:00. On a Saturday, seven of the ten open at 08:00, Kingsley at 08:30, and Kettering Road and 183–185 Wellingborough Road at 09:00. On a Sunday most open at 09:00, the two Wellingborough Road shops at 09:30 and Weston Favell at 10:00.

Open latest

Seven branches close at 22:00 on weekdays. Kettering Road and Harlestone Road close at 21:30, and Broadway East at 21:00. On a Saturday the same three shops keep their weekday closing times, and everything else stays open to 22:00.

Betfred Northampton Sunday opening times

Sunday in Northampton is long almost everywhere: eight of the ten shops close at 22:00.

Eight branches close at 22:00 on a Sunday, including Kettering Road and Broadway East, which close earlier during the week. Harlestone Road closes at 21:00. The Weston Favell Centre shop is the exception: it opens only from 10:00 to 16:00 on a Sunday, because large shops in England — including the shopping centre it sits in — are limited to six hours of Sunday trading. If you are in Weston Favell on a Sunday evening, Broadway East is the nearest Betfred still open.

Betfred Northampton bank holiday opening times

Betting shops in England can trade on every bank holiday bar one. Premises licences issued under the Gambling Act 2005 carry a condition that gambling facilities cannot be provided on Christmas Day, so all ten Northampton branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.

On the other bank holidays, Northampton branches usually run either their normal times for that day of the week or a slightly shorter day. Betfred has in past years announced a chain-wide 20:00 close on bank holiday Mondays, which would take up to two hours off the Northampton branches. Dates in the tables below update automatically.

Easter opening times

Betting shops have been allowed to open on Good Friday since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force, and there is no Easter Sunday restriction in Great Britain. Across the Easter weekend, expect each Northampton branch to follow its usual pattern for that day.

May and August bank holidays

The early May, spring and summer bank holidays all fall on a Monday. Check the window card or the Betfred shop finder the week before; a 20:00 bank holiday close would take up to two hours off the Northampton branches.

Christmas and New Year opening times

The festive fortnight is the only stretch of the year when Northampton times move far from the weekly pattern. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve normally finish early, Boxing Day — the biggest racing day of the winter — runs close to normal, and New Year’s Day starts later.

How the live opening times work

Everything live on this page reads the clock in Northampton (UK time), not the clock on your device, and compares it against each shop’s published times. That keeps the status right even if you are checking from abroad.

The panel at the top

The top panel covers the town-centre branch at 8 The Parade. It tells you whether it is open right now and how long until it closes. The other nine branches have their own live rows in the section below.

The shop rows

Open now means the shop is inside its published times and the countdown shows how long is left. Closed shows when it opens next. Counters stop taking cash bets a few minutes before closing so staff can settle slips, so if you are collecting winnings, aim to arrive ten minutes before the time shown.

Map, directions and Street View

Each row has three buttons. Map drops a pin on the shop, Directions plans a route from wherever you are, and Street View shows the street around the shop so you can spot the frontage before you set off. Tap “Use my current location” and the lists re-order themselves so the closest shop is always at the top, and the directions button points to the nearest of all ten Northampton branches.

Betfred across the rest of Northampton

Nine more branches serve the rest of the town: three on the Kettering and Wellingborough Roads just east of the centre, two in Kingsley and Kingsthorpe to the north, two at Broadway East and the Weston Favell Centre to the east, and two at Far Cotton and St James to the south and west.

Betfred near Northampton

Northampton is the county town of Northamptonshire, and the nearest Betfred branches outside it are in the surrounding towns.

Wellingborough, about eleven miles north-east, has a Betfred of its own, and Kettering, fourteen miles north, and Milton Keynes, eighteen miles south, are covered on their own pages. The licensing register carries twelve Northampton rows: the ten listed here, a second entry for 183–185 Wellingborough Road (recorded as “183–185 & 187”), and 27 Gold Street (NN1 1RA), which does not appear in current listings and which we have not counted.

About Betfred in Northampton

Betfred began in Salford in 1967, when brothers Fred and Peter Done opened their first betting shop, and it runs its estate from Birchwood in Warrington, about 110 miles north-west. Northampton is one of the few towns on this site where Betfred has more shops than any other bookmaker: ten branches, most of them trading until 22:00 every day, spread along the main roads out of the centre.

For visitors, 8 The Parade is the one to know: on the edge of Market Square, about half a mile from Northampton railway station, and open until 22:00 every day. For a Saints match at Franklin’s Gardens or a Cobblers game at Sixfields, Harlestone Road in St James is the nearest Betfred.
