Rotherham has four Betfred shops, though directory sites often show just one: three of them, including the town-centre branch, are filed under Sheffield. Their hours shift with the day of the week. Bridgegate is the late shop on weekdays, open until 22:00, but closes at 20:30 on a Saturday; Wickersley does the opposite, staying open later on a Saturday (21:00) than midweek. Sunday is short everywhere, finishing between 18:00 and 20:00.

Betfred, Bridgegate (town centre)18–20 Bridgegate, Rotherham S60 1PQ
Bridgegate runs 08:00 to 22:00 Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 20:30 on a Saturday and 09:00 to 20:00 on a Sunday. A Ladbrokes at 1 Bridgegate, on the same street, keeps 22:00 hours, and there are William Hills on Frederick Street and Howard Street and a Coral on Effingham Street nearby. Distances are straight-line estimates from All Saints Square. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.

Open earliest
Bridgegate opens at 08:00 Monday to Saturday. Herringthorpe and Wickersley open at 08:30 on weekdays, and Thrybergh at 09:00. On a Saturday Wickersley moves forward to 08:00 and Herringthorpe and Thrybergh open at 08:30. On a Sunday the shops open at 09:00, apart from Thrybergh at 09:30.

The Saturday twist: 220 Bawtry Road in Wickersley is open 08:00 to 21:00 on a Saturday — longer than on any weekday, and the latest Rotherham Betfred that evening.
Betfred Rotherham Sunday opening times
Sunday in Rotherham is short at every shop, finishing between 18:00 and 20:00.
| Shop | Opens | Closes | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bridgegate (town centre)18–20 Bridgegate, S60 1PQ | 09:00 | 20:00 | |
| Herringthorpe (Browning Road)108–110 Browning Road, S65 2NW | 09:00 | 19:00 | |
| Thrybergh (Park Lane)14 Park Lane, S65 4BT | 09:30 | 18:00 | |
| Wickersley (Bawtry Road)220 Bawtry Road, S66 1AA | 09:00 | 18:00 |
Bridgegate runs 09:00 to 20:00, Herringthorpe 09:00 to 19:00, Wickersley 09:00 to 18:00 and Thrybergh 09:30 to 18:00. That covers the racing and the afternoon football, but for a Sunday evening kick-off only Bridgegate is still open after 19:00.
Betfred Rotherham 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 Rotherham branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, Rotherham 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 Bridgegate and up to an hour off the other shops, 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 Rotherham 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 Rotherham 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 Rotherham 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 Rotherham |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 Rotherham 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 Rotherham (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 Bridgegate. It tells you whether it is open right now and how long until it closes. Herringthorpe, Thrybergh and Wickersley 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 Rotherham branches.
Betfred across the rest of Rotherham
Three more branches sit east of the town centre: Browning Road in Herringthorpe, about a mile and a quarter away; Park Lane in Thrybergh, about two and a half miles north-east; and Bawtry Road in Wickersley, about three miles south-east. All publish full weekly times.

Betfred near Rotherham
Rotherham sits on the Don, next door to Sheffield, and directory listings and the licensing register both blur the boundary.
Directory sites list Bridgegate, Thrybergh and Wickersley under Sheffield, leaving only Browning Road under Rotherham; all four are Rotherham shops licensed by Rotherham council. The register also lists 38 Cross Street in Bramley (S66 2SA), and two shops with Rotherham postal addresses in the Barnsley borough, at 3 Barnsley Road, Goldthorpe and 12 Kingsway, Thurnscoe; none appears in current listings, so we have not counted them. Barnsley and Doncaster, both about ten miles away, are covered on their own pages.
All four branches are licensed by Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council. If you are heading for Maltby, Rawmarsh or Dinnington rather than Rotherham itself, use the location button above to find the nearest of the four.

In the town centre the Ladbrokes on Bridgegate and the William Hill on Frederick Street both trade until 22:00, including on a Saturday. Every bookmaker in the borough is closed on Christmas Day by law.
