Betfred, High Street (town centre)82 High Street, Scunthorpe DN15 6SA
High Street runs 08:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 20:00 on a Sunday. The other Betfred on the High Street, at 198/200, has closed, so this is now the only Betfred in the town centre. Distances are straight-line estimates from the High Street. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.

Betfred Scunthorpe Sunday opening times
Sunday in Scunthorpe ends at 20:00 at every shop.
| Shop | Opens | Closes | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| High Street (town centre)82 High Street, DN15 6SA | 09:00 | 20:00 | |
| Cottage Beck Road81 Cottage Beck Road, DN16 1UE | 10:00 | 20:00 | |

High Street and Ashby run 09:00 to 20:00 on a Sunday and Cottage Beck Road 10:00 to 20:00. That covers the racing and the afternoon football; for a Sunday evening kick-off after 20:00, no Scunthorpe Betfred is open.
Betfred Scunthorpe 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 Scunthorpe branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, Scunthorpe branches usually run either their normal times for that day of the week or a slightly shorter day. Betfred’s own Scunthorpe listings have noted a 20:00 close on bank holiday Mondays, which would take two hours off High Street and up to ninety minutes 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 Scunthorpe 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 Scunthorpe 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 Scunthorpe 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 Scunthorpe |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 Scunthorpe 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 Scunthorpe (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 the High Street. It tells you whether it is open right now and how long until it closes. Cottage Beck Road and Ashby 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 Scunthorpe branches.
Betfred across the rest of Scunthorpe
Two more branches sit south of the town centre: Cottage Beck Road, under half a mile away, and The Broadway in Ashby, about a mile and three-quarters south. Both publish full weekly times.

Betfred, Ashby (The Broadway)12 The Broadway, Ashby High Street, Ashby, Scunthorpe DN16 2SN
Cottage Beck Road sits on a local parade south of the town centre; the licensing register lists it at both 81 and 83, which appear to be the same shop across two units. The Broadway is Ashby’s main shopping street, and its Betfred opens at 08:00, as early as the High Street shop.
Betfred near Scunthorpe
Scunthorpe is the main town of North Lincolnshire, and the licensing register lists more Betfreds than now trade.
The register lists five Betfred premises in Scunthorpe. Two of them — 81 and 83 Cottage Beck Road — appear to be a single shop, and a third, 198/200 High Street, has closed: Betfred’s own listing for it now reads “this shop is now closed”. That leaves the three on this page. Scunthorpe is also missing from some national directories, so the weekly times here come from Betfred’s own shop listings. Grimsby, about thirty miles east, and Doncaster, about twenty miles west, are covered on their own pages.
All three branches are licensed by North Lincolnshire Council. If you are heading for Bottesford, Brigg or Winterton rather than Scunthorpe itself, use the location button above to find the nearest of the three.
Other bookmakers in Scunthorpe
Betfred is one of several bookmakers in Scunthorpe town centre.
We are still gathering the other bookmakers’ shops in Scunthorpe branch by branch; national directories cover the town only patchily, so we have not listed rival counts here.
We are still confirming full weekly times branch by branch for the non-Betfred shops in Scunthorpe, so they are not listed with live status on this page yet. Every bookmaker in the town is closed on Christmas Day by law.
