Before you travel: the times on this page follow Betfred’s standard high-street pattern. Individual shops occasionally change them for staffing, refurbishment or big events, so if you are heading over late in the evening, check the Betfred store finder first.
Weekday opening times
The shop keeps the same 09:00 to 22:00 times every weekday.
| Weekday | Opening times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Quiet morning; mostly regulars checking the first race cards. |
| Tuesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Evening greyhound and all-weather racing runs through to close. |
| Wednesday | 09:00 – 22:00 | Champions League or cup nights bring a late-evening crowd. |
| Thursday | 09:00 – 22:00 | European football coverage runs into the evening. |
| Friday | 09:00 – 22:00 | The fullest weekday: coupons for Saturday go on from lunchtime. |
Weekend opening times
The weekend times bookend the weekday pattern: 08:30 on Saturday, 09:30 on Sunday.
| Day | Opening times | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday | 08:30 – 22:00 | The week’s busiest day, from the morning racing to the late football. |
| Sunday | 09:30 – 22:00 | Later start; Premier League and Sunday racing run through the afternoon. |
Most local regulars come in on Saturday, so the counter is busiest between noon and the final results. Sunday is steadier, livening up for televised football.
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.
Elsewhere in the calendar, expect either normal times or a slightly shorter day. Here is how the bank holidays usually look at Betfred Cottage Beck Road.
Easter opening times
There are no legal restrictions on betting shops opening over Easter in Great Britain: Good Friday trading has been allowed since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force. Expect normal times across the four days.
| 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 |
British racing on Good Friday is now a fixture, with the All-Weather Championships finals run on it since 2014, and Easter Monday brings a packed programme of jumps meetings, so both days are lively in the shop.
May bank holiday opening times
There are two May bank holidays: the early May Monday and the spring bank holiday at the end of the month. Both are normal Monday trading days here.
| 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
The August bank holiday brings a full racing programme and, most years, Premier League football, so the afternoon is 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
At Betfred Cottage Beck Road, the weekly pattern holds for almost the whole year and only changes over Christmas and New Year. Christmas Day is a legal closure, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve finish early, and the days in between stay close to normal because the racing calendar is at its busiest.
| 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
Boxing Day is the biggest day of the year for high-street bookmakers, built around the King George VI Chase at Kempton and a card of meetings across the country. The shop opens as normal and closes a little earlier, around 20:00.
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
The shop usually opens a little later, around 10:00, and closes around 20:00. With a full programme of jumps racing, it is still a busy trading day.
The festive times shown here are the usual Betfred pattern rather than a confirmed timetable for Ashby. Branches post their own Christmas times, usually from mid-December, so check the window notice or the Betfred store finder before travelling on 24, 26 or 31 December.
How the live opening times panel works
The status panel at the top of the page works from the current UK time and the published times for Betfred Cottage Beck Road, so the open or closed flag, today’s close and the countdown are always current. A few details on how it behaves:
What the status means
When the panel shows Open, the current UK time falls inside today’s trading times. Closed means it does not, and the countdown then runs to the next opening instead of the next close. Within the final hour, keep an eye on the countdown.
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
Use the buttons at the top of the page to open the shop in Google Maps, plot a route from your current position, or preview the street in Street View. Scunthorpe station is about three minutes’ walk, with trains to Doncaster and Grimsby.
