Betfred, Lumley Road73 Lumley Road, Skegness PE25 3LS
The Lumley Road shop runs 08:30 to 21:00 on weekdays, 08:00 to 21:00 on a Saturday and 09:00 to 19:00 on a Sunday. Lumley Road is the town’s main shopping street, between the station and the Clock Tower. Distances are straight-line estimates from the Clock Tower. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.

| Shop | Opens | Closes | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|

Betfred Skegness 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 the Skegness shop closes on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, the Skegness shop usually runs either its 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 an hour off the Lumley Road shop. Dates in the tables below update automatically.
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 the Skegness shop 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, and the shop would lose an hour if it applies.
| 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 Skegness 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 Skegness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas Eve | 24 December | — | Normal opening, early close around 18:00 |
| Christmas Day | 25 December | — | Closed all day, both shops |
| 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 Skegness branch sets its own festive times and usually posts them in the window from mid-December. The shop sits in the town centre, so its festive hours tend to track the trading pattern of the shops around the Market Place. 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 Skegness (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 73 Lumley Road branch, the only Betfred in Skegness. It tells you whether it is open right now and how long until it closes, and after closing it counts down to the next morning’s opening.
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 page measures your distance to the shop, and the directions button plans a route from wherever you are.

The licensing register lists a second Skegness Betfred at 101 Lumley Road, a short walk from number 73. Betfred’s own shop listing now marks it as closed, so we have not given it a live row. If you remember two Betfreds on Lumley Road, 73 is the one still trading.
The Lumley Road shop is licensed by East Lindsey District Council, which also covers Louth and Mablethorpe. Lincoln and Grimsby, each around 40 miles away, are covered on their own pages.

Betfred is one of several bookmakers in Skegness.
Skegness is not covered by the national directory we use for rival shops, so we have not listed other bookmakers here yet. Every bookmaker in the town is closed on Christmas Day by law.
We have not yet confirmed which other bookmakers trade in Skegness or their hours, so none are listed with live status on this page.
