Betfred, Murray Place45–47 Murray Place, Stirling FK8 1AP
The Murray Place shop runs 08:30 to 22:00 on weekdays, 08:00 to 22:00 on a Saturday and 09:30 to 21:30 on a Sunday. Murray Place runs through the city centre a couple of minutes from the railway station, and it has two more bookmakers of its own: a Ladbrokes at 2–6 and a Coral at 73. Distances are straight-line estimates from King Street. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.

The full weekly pattern for the shop in one table. Today’s column is highlighted.
With one shop the table is short: a thirteen-and-a-half-hour weekday from 08:30 to 22:00, a Saturday that starts half an hour earlier, and a twelve-hour Sunday from 09:30 to 21:30.

Betfred Stirling bank holiday opening times
Betting shops in Scotland 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 both Stirling branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, the Stirling shop usually runs either its normal times for that day of the week or a slightly shorter day. Betfred’s own shop notices for Scotland have stated that all shops close at 20:00 on bank holiday Mondays, which would take two hours off the Murray Place shop. Dates in the tables below are calculated on the Scottish calendar, not the English one.
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. Good Friday is a bank holiday in Scotland; Easter Monday is not, which is the main difference from the English pages on this site. Across the Easter weekend, expect the Murray Place 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: 08:00 and 08:30 starts |
| Easter Sunday | First Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March | — | Normal Sunday times, 09:30 start |
| Easter Monday | Day after Easter Sunday | — | Not a Scottish bank holiday: normal Monday times |
Scottish bank holidays
Scotland’s bank holiday calendar is not the same as England’s. Easter Monday is not a Scottish bank holiday, so shops trade a normal Monday. The summer bank holiday falls on the first Monday in August rather than the last. 2 January is a bank holiday in Scotland, and St Andrew’s Day on 30 November is a voluntary one that most retailers, including betting shops, treat as a normal trading day.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good Friday | Friday before Easter Sunday | — | Normal weekday times |
| Early May bank holiday | First Monday in May | — | Weekday opening, 20:00 close likely |
| Spring bank holiday | Last Monday in May | — | Weekday opening, 20:00 close likely |
| Summer bank holiday (Scotland) | First Monday in August | — | Weekday opening, 20:00 close likely |
| St Andrew’s Day | 30 November, or the Monday after if at a weekend | — | Normal times for that day |
Easter Monday is not a bank holiday in Scotland. The Murray Place shop trades normal Monday hours, 08:30 to 22:00, unlike the English towns covered on this site, where a 20:00 bank holiday close is likely that day.
Christmas and New Year opening times
Hogmanay and New Year matter more in Scotland than anywhere else on this site, and 2 January is a bank holiday here as well as 1 January. The festive fortnight is the only stretch of the year when Stirling 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 Stirling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas Eve | 24 December | — | Normal opening, early close around 18:00 |
| Christmas Day | 25 December | — | Closed all day, by law |
| 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 |
| 2 January (Scotland) | 2 January, or the next weekday if at a weekend | — | Later start, close around 20:00 |
The Stirling shop sets its own festive times and usually posts them in the window from mid-December. Hogmanay is a big night in Scotland and betting shops normally close early on 31 December, with a later start on 1 and 2 January. 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 Stirling (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 45–47 Murray Place branch, the only Betfred in Stirling. 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.
Betfred near Stirling
Betfred’s Scottish estate is much thinner than its English one, and the nearest other branches are several miles away.
The nearest other Betfreds are in Alloa, about seven miles east across the Forth, and Falkirk, about eleven miles south-east. The licensing register also lists a Stirling Betfred at 107 Barnton Street, which does not appear in current listings, so we have not given it a live row.
The Murray Place shop is licensed by Stirling Council. If you are heading for Bridge of Allan, Bannockburn or Dunblane rather than Stirling itself, use the location button above to see how far the Murray Place shop is from you.

Ladbrokes has four shops in Stirling, including 2–6 Murray Place and 23 King Street. William Hill has three, among them 29–31 Barnton Street, and Coral one, at 73 Murray Place, a few doors from the Betfred.
We are still confirming full weekly times branch by branch for the non-Betfred shops in Stirling, so they are not listed with live status on this page yet. Every bookmaker in the city is closed on Christmas Day by law.
