Rochdale’s three Betfred shops divide neatly in two. Yorkshire Street, in the town centre, is open 08:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 22:00 on a Sunday. The two outer shops, at Mayfield and in Castleton, keep matching shorter hours: 20:30 on weekdays, 20:00 on a Saturday and 18:00 on a Sunday. Both open earlier on a Saturday than during the week. After 20:30 on any day, Yorkshire Street is the only Betfred open in the town.

Betfred, Yorkshire Street (town centre)44–46 Yorkshire Street, Rochdale OL16 1JW
Yorkshire Street runs 08:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 22:00 on a Sunday. The town centre is busy with rivals: a Paddy Power further down Yorkshire Street, a William Hill on Baillie Street, a Ladbrokes at The Butts and a Coral on Drake Street, all open until 22:00. Distances are straight-line estimates from the Town Hall. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.
Rochdale Betfred opening times compared
The full weekly pattern for all three branches in one table, town-centre shops first. Today’s column is highlighted.
The outer shops mirror each other: 09:00 to 20:30 on weekdays, 08:30 to 20:00 on a Saturday, and a Sunday that ends at 18:00, with Mayfield opening half an hour before Castleton. Yorkshire Street runs longer on every day of the week, and on a Sunday it is open four hours after the other two have closed.

Earliest and latest Betfred shops in Rochdale
Full weekly times are published for all three branches, so this section covers every shop on the page.
Open earliest
Yorkshire Street opens at 08:00 Monday to Saturday. Mayfield and Castleton open at 09:00 on weekdays and 08:30 on a Saturday. On a Sunday, Yorkshire Street opens at 09:00, Mayfield at 09:30 and Castleton at 10:00.

Yorkshire Street closes at 22:00 every day. Mayfield and Castleton close at 20:30 on weekdays, 20:00 on a Saturday and 18:00 on a Sunday. For a late bet near either outer shop, the William Hill on Whitworth Road and the Ladbrokes at Kirkholt both trade until later.
The one to remember: 44–46 Yorkshire Street is open until 22:00 on every day of the week, including Sunday — the only Rochdale Betfred that is.
Betfred Rochdale Sunday opening times
Sunday in Rochdale is short at two of the three shops, and Yorkshire Street is the exception.
| Shop | Opens | Closes | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yorkshire Street (town centre)44–46 Yorkshire Street, OL16 1JW | 09:00 | 22:00 | |
| Mayfield (Albert Royds Street)Unit 2, Mayfield, Albert Royds Street, OL16 2UE | 09:30 | 18:00 | |
| Castleton (Manchester Road)822 Manchester Road, OL11 3AW | 10:00 | 18:00 |
Yorkshire Street runs 09:00 to 22:00 on a Sunday; Mayfield runs 09:30 to 18:00 and Castleton 10:00 to 18:00. For the afternoon football any of the three will do; for a Sunday evening kick-off, only Yorkshire Street is open.
Betfred Rochdale 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 three Rochdale branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, Rochdale 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 Yorkshire Street and half an hour off Mayfield and Castleton, so check the window card the week before.
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 Rochdale 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 Rochdale branches.
| 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 Rochdale 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 Rochdale |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 Rochdale 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 Rochdale (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 on Yorkshire Street. It tells you whether it is open right now and how long until it closes. Mayfield and Castleton 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 three Rochdale branches.
Betfred across the rest of Rochdale
Two more branches sit outside the town centre: Mayfield on Albert Royds Street, about a mile north-east, and Manchester Road in Castleton, about two miles south-west. Both publish full weekly times.

Mayfield sits in a small development on Albert Royds Street, near the William Hill on Whitworth Road. Castleton’s shop is on Manchester Road, the main route towards Middleton and Manchester, and a short walk from Castleton station; the Ladbrokes in Kirkholt is the nearest rival. Both close at 20:30 on weekdays and 18:00 on a Sunday.
Betfred near Rochdale
Rochdale sits at the foot of the South Pennines, and the nearest Betfred branches outside it are in the neighbouring Greater Manchester towns.
Oldham, about five miles south, and Bury, about six miles west, are covered on their own pages. The licensing register lists the town-centre shop at 7 Yorkshire Street (OL16 1BH); current listings place it at 44–46 Yorkshire Street, further up the same street, and a Paddy Power now trades at 15 Yorkshire Street under the older postcode. It is most likely the same shop at a newer address.
All three Rochdale branches are licensed by Rochdale Borough Council. If you are heading for Heywood, Littleborough or Middleton rather than Rochdale itself, use the location button above to find the nearest of the three.
Other bookmakers in Rochdale
Rochdale has three Betfreds, level with Ladbrokes and William Hill on three shops each.
Ladbrokes and William Hill have three shops each in Rochdale, including The Butts and Kirkholt for Ladbrokes, and Baillie Street, Whitworth Road and Oldham Road for William Hill. Coral has two, including Drake Street; Paddy Power trades at 15 Yorkshire Street, and BOYLE Sports has one shop in the town.
We are still confirming full weekly times branch by branch for the non-Betfred shops in Rochdale, so they are not listed with live status on this page yet. Most of the town-centre rivals trade until 22:00, matching Yorkshire Street. Every bookmaker in the borough is closed on Christmas Day by law.
