Oldham has four Betfred shops, and none of them is in the town centre itself: the Spindles Shopping Centre branch on the licensing register no longer appears in current listings. The nearest to the centre is Eldon Precinct, a quarter of a mile south. The late shop is Chadderton Precinct, open 08:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday. A note on Eldon Precinct: its listed hours — 10:00 to 18:00 Monday to Saturday but 10:00 to 20:30 on a Sunday — are unusual for a betting shop and come from a single listing, so they are worth confirming before a visit.
The 2 Betfred shops in Oldham town centre
The branch nearest the town centre, at 5–6 Eldon Precinct, about a quarter of a mile south of the High Street.

Betfred, Eldon Precinct (nearest the town centre)5–6 Eldon Precinct, Oldham OL8 1JP
Eldon Precinct is listed as open 10:00 to 18:00 Monday to Saturday and 10:00 to 20:30 on a Sunday. That is an unusually short weekday for a betting shop, and a Sunday that runs later than the week is rare; we have published the listing as it stands, but check before relying on it. In the town centre itself, William Hill on the High Street, Ladbrokes on Market Place, and Paddy Power and Coral on Henshaw Street all trade until 21:30 or 22:00. Distances are straight-line estimates from the Parish Church. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.
Oldham Betfred opening times compared
The full weekly pattern for all four branches in one table, nearest the town centre first. Today’s column is highlighted.
The four shops keep very different hours. Chadderton Precinct is the long day, 08:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday. Royton runs 08:30 to 21:00, and Coalshaw Green Road 09:00 to 20:30 on weekdays with a shorter Saturday. Eldon Precinct, as listed, keeps the shortest week, 10:00 to 18:00, but the latest Sunday after Chadderton.

Earliest and latest Betfred shops in Oldham
Full weekly times are published for all four branches, so this section covers every shop on the page.
Open earliest
Chadderton Precinct opens at 08:00 Monday to Saturday, Royton at 08:30, Coalshaw Green Road at 09:00 on weekdays and 08:30 on a Saturday, and Eldon Precinct at 10:00. On a Sunday, Chadderton Precinct opens at 09:00, Royton at 09:30, and the other two at 10:00.
Open latest
Chadderton Precinct closes at 22:00 Monday to Saturday, the only Oldham Betfred to do so. Royton closes at 21:00, Coalshaw Green Road at 20:30 on weekdays and 20:00 on a Saturday, and Eldon Precinct at 18:00. For a late bet, Chadderton Precinct — or the town-centre rivals — is the answer.
The one to remember: Unit 26, Chadderton Precinct is open 08:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 21:00 on a Sunday — the longest hours of any Betfred in Oldham on every day of the week.
Betfred Oldham Sunday opening times
Sunday in Oldham is short at two of the four shops.
| Shop | Opens | Closes | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chadderton PrecinctUnit 26, Chadderton Precinct, Middleton Road, OL9 0LJ | 09:00 | 21:00 | |
| Eldon Precinct (nearest the town centre)5–6 Eldon Precinct, OL8 1JP | 10:00 | 20:30 | |
| Coalshaw Green Road (Chadderton)1/3 Coalshaw Green Road, OL9 8JW | 10:00 | 18:00 | |
| Royton (Market Street)5–7 Market Street, OL2 5QD | 09:30 | 18:00 |
Chadderton Precinct runs 09:00 to 21:00 on a Sunday and Eldon Precinct 10:00 to 20:30. Royton and Coalshaw Green Road close at 18:00. No Oldham Betfred reaches 22:00 on a Sunday.
Betfred Oldham 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 four Oldham branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, Oldham 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 two hours off Chadderton Precinct and an hour off Royton. 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 Oldham branch to follow its usual pattern for that day.
| Day | Falls on | Next date | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good Friday | Friday before Easter Sunday | — | Normal weekday times |
| Easter Saturday | Saturday before Easter Sunday | — | Normal Saturday times |
| Easter Sunday | First Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March | — | Normal Sunday times |
| Easter Monday | Day after Easter Sunday | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
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 Oldham branches and make no difference at the shop already closing at 20:00 or earlier.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early May bank holiday | First Monday in May | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
| Spring bank holiday | Last Monday in May | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
| Summer bank holiday | Last Monday in August | — | Weekday opening, possible 20:00 close |
Christmas and New Year opening times
The festive fortnight is the only stretch of the year when Oldham 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.
| Day | Date | Next date | Usual pattern in Oldham |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas Eve | 24 December | — | Normal opening, early close around 18:00 |
| Christmas Day | 25 December | — | Closed all day, every shop |
| Boxing Day | 26 December | — | Normal opening, close around 20:00 |
| Substitute bank holiday | When 25 or 26 December falls on a weekend | — | Normal times for that day |
| New Year’s Eve | 31 December | — | Normal opening, early close around 18:00 |
| New Year’s Day | 1 January | — | Later start around 10:00, close around 20:00 |
Each Oldham branch sets its own festive times and usually posts them in the window from mid-December. The live countdowns on this page follow the standard weekly times and the Christmas Day closure only, so check the window card before travelling on 24, 26 or 31 December or 1 January.
How the live opening times work
Everything live on this page reads the clock in Oldham (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 Eldon Precinct, the branch nearest the town centre. It tells you whether it is open right now and how long until it closes. The Chadderton and Royton 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 four Oldham branches.
Betfred across the rest of Oldham
Three more branches serve the rest of the borough: two in Chadderton, west of the town centre, and one in Royton to the north.

Chadderton Precinct on Middleton Road is the busiest of the three, with a BOYLE Sports next door in Chadderton Mall and a Ladbrokes on Chadderton Road. Coalshaw Green Road, in the south of Chadderton towards Hollinwood, keeps shorter hours. Royton’s Market Street shop sits a few doors from a William Hill.
Betfred near Oldham
Oldham sits on the eastern edge of Greater Manchester, and the licensing register and current listings do not quite match.
The register lists a Betfred at Unit 38B, Spindles Shopping Centre (OL1 1JG), in the middle of the town centre; it does not appear in current listings, so we have not counted it — if it is trading, let us know. In the other direction, 5–7 Market Street in Royton appears in current listings but not in the register extract we hold, which may simply pre-date it; we have included it. Manchester, about seven miles south-west, is covered on its own page, and Rochdale, five miles north, has three Betfred branches of its own.
All four branches are licensed by Oldham Council. If you are heading for Rochdale, Ashton-under-Lyne or Manchester rather than Oldham itself, use the location button above: the directions button always routes to the nearest of the four Oldham branches.
Other bookmakers in Oldham
Oldham town centre is served entirely by Betfred’s rivals.
William Hill has six shops in Oldham, including 18 High Street in the centre and Market Street in Royton. Ladbrokes has five, among them 25 Market Place and Chadderton Road; Coral three, including Henshaw Street; Paddy Power two, including Henshaw Street; and BOYLE Sports one, in Chadderton Mall.
We are still confirming full weekly times branch by branch for the non-Betfred shops in Oldham, so they are not listed with live status on this page yet. In the town centre, Ladbrokes on Market Place and Paddy Power and Coral on Henshaw Street are open until 22:00. Every bookmaker in the borough is closed on Christmas Day by law.
About Betfred in Oldham
| Trading name | Betfred |
|---|---|
| Licensee | Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited |
| Head office | Birchwood, Warrington |
| Licensing authority | Oldham Council |

| In the town centre | None confirmed |
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 twenty-five miles west. Salford itself is just seven miles from Oldham, but Betfred’s presence here is thin: four shops, none of them in the town centre, with William Hill and Ladbrokes both larger in the borough.
For visitors, Chadderton Precinct is the most useful Betfred: open 08:00 to 22:00 six days a week and the nearest to Boundary Park, home of Oldham Athletic. Eldon Precinct is the closest to the town centre and Oldham Central Metrolink stop, but check its hours before relying on them.
