The two to watch are Bitterne, which closes at 20:30 on a Sunday, and Woolston, which closes at 21:00, both earlier than the 22:00 they keep the rest of the week.
The 2 Betfred shops in Southampton city centre

Both run 08:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 22:00 on a Sunday. Pound Tree Road is the busiest betting corner in the centre: a Ladbrokes shares the Betfred’s address at number 2, and there is a Coral opposite at number 1. Distances are straight-line estimates from the Bargate. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.

Betfred Southampton 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 ten Southampton branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, Southampton 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 up to two hours off the Southampton branches. 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 each Southampton 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 Southampton 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 Southampton 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 Southampton |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 Southampton 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 Southampton (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 two city-centre branches, at Hanover Buildings and Pound Tree Road. It tells you how many are open right now and how long until they close. The other eight have their own live rows in the sections 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 ten Southampton branches.
Betfred across the rest of Southampton
Eight more branches serve the rest of Southampton: five around the city, on London Road and in Portswood, Woolston, Bitterne and Aldermoor, and three on the outskirts, in Totton, West End and Hedge End.

London Road, Portswood, Totton and Hedge End are open until 22:00 every day. Woolston and Bitterne close at 22:00 during the week but earlier on a Sunday. Aldermoor and West End are neighbourhood shops open 09:00 to 20:30 every day. London Road shares its address with a Ladbrokes, and Portswood has a Ladbrokes and a William Hill on the same road.
Betfred near Southampton
Southampton’s Betfreds are licensed by three different councils.
The seven shops in the city are licensed by Southampton City Council; Totton by New Forest District Council; and West End and Hedge End by Eastleigh Borough Council. Directory sites list eleven “Southampton” Betfreds because they include Boyatt Wood Shopping Centre in Eastleigh, which we have left off. The register lists 406 Bitterne Road under two postcodes; it is one shop. It does not list Woolston’s Victoria Road shop or West End’s Lower New Road shop, both of which appear in current listings.
If you are heading for Eastleigh, Chandler’s Ford or Netley rather than Southampton itself, use the location button above: the directions button always routes to the nearest of the ten.
