Bank holiday opening times
Betting shops in England and Wales may trade on every bank holiday, with one exception. Under the Gambling Act 2005, every betting premises licence carries a condition that the premises cannot be used to provide gambling facilities on Christmas Day, so this shop is closed on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
The tables below show the pattern Betfred High Street, Rusthall 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 racing in Britain dates from 2014, when the All-Weather Championships Finals Day was first run on it, so there is an afternoon card to follow. Easter Monday is one of the biggest jumps days of the spring, with several meetings running at once.
May bank holiday opening times
The early May bank holiday and the spring bank holiday both follow ordinary Monday times in Rusthall: 09:00 to 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
Summer bank holiday Monday, at the end of August, keeps normal Monday times of 09:00 to 22:00 at Betfred High Street, Rusthall. The afternoon is usually the busiest part of the day.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summer bank holiday | Last Monday in August | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
Christmas opening times
Christmas is the only time of year when the weekly pattern changes. The shop is closed by law on Christmas Day, finishes early on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, and runs near-normal days in between, when the racing calendar is at its fullest.
| 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
The shop opens at the normal time on Christmas Eve and closes early, typically around 18:00. Last cash bets are taken a little before that, and the shop empties quickly once the racing finishes.
Boxing Day
Expect a normal opening time on Boxing Day and an earlier close at around 20:00. With the King George VI Chase at Kempton and meetings across the country, the afternoon is very busy.
New Year opening times
New Year’s Eve
New Year’s Eve mirrors Christmas Eve: a standard morning open with an early evening close, usually around 18:00. If you want a bet on the evening football or the New Year’s Day cards, place it during the afternoon.
New Year’s Day
New Year’s Day is a bank holiday with a later start than usual, typically around 10:00, and an earlier close in the evening. There is a full jumps racing card, so the shop is open and trading, just on a compressed day.
Bank holiday times listed here reflect the pattern Betfred shops locally 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 panel at the top of this page reads the clock in the UK and compares it against this shop’s trading times, so the status, the closing time and the countdown are always current. It runs on the same times published in the tables above. Three things are worth knowing about how it behaves.
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
Plan to arrive a little before the published close: counters stop taking cash bets shortly beforehand, and paying out winnings takes time too.
Getting there
Tap the Google Maps buttons at the top to see where the shop is, get directions from where you are, or look at the street in Street View before you set off. Buses run to Tunbridge Wells. Tunbridge Wells station is about a mile and a half east.
