Market Square runs 08:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 22:00 on a Sunday. There is a Coral round the corner on Percy Street, William Hills on Stafford Street and Tontine Street, and a BOYLE Sports at The Webberley. Distances are straight-line estimates from Hanley.

Betfred Stoke-on-Trent Sunday opening times
Sunday in Stoke-on-Trent looks much like the rest of the week.
| Shop | Opens | Closes | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hanley (Market Square)2 Market Square, ST1 1NU | 09:00 | 22:00 | |
| Stoke (Campbell Place)16–18 Campbell Place, ST4 1LX | 08:30 | 22:00 | |

Betfred Stoke-on-Trent 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 Stoke-on-Trent branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, Stoke-on-Trent 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 two hours off Market Square and Campbell Place and an hour off Abbey Hulton. 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 Stoke-on-Trent 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 ninety minutes off the Stoke-on-Trent 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 Stoke-on-Trent 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 Stoke-on-Trent |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 Stoke-on-Trent 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 Stoke-on-Trent (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 Market Square branch in Hanley. It tells you whether it is open right now and how long until it closes. The other two 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 three Stoke-on-Trent branches.
Betfred across the rest of Stoke-on-Trent
Two more branches serve the rest of the city: Campbell Place in Stoke town, a mile and a half south of Hanley, and Leek Road in Abbey Hulton, about a mile and a third to the north-east.

Betfred, Abbey Hulton1411–1413 Leek Road, Abbey Hulton, Stoke-on-Trent ST2 8BW
Campbell Place is a few minutes from Stoke-on-Trent station and the nearest Betfred to Stoke City’s ground; it is open until 22:00 every day. Abbey Hulton’s shop on Leek Road keeps shorter hours, closing at 21:00, and has a Coral further along at 1274 Leek Road.
Betfred near Stoke-on-Trent
Betfred has three shops in the city, and the licensing register agrees.
The nearest Betfreds outside the city are in Leek, about ten miles north-east, and Stafford, about fifteen miles south. There is no Betfred in Tunstall, Burslem, Fenton or Longton in current listings, so if you are in the north or south of the city, use the location button to see which of the three is closest.
All three branches are licensed by Stoke-on-Trent City Council. If you are heading for Newcastle-under-Lyme, Kidsgrove or Stone rather than the city itself, use the location button above: the directions button always routes to the nearest of the three.
Other bookmakers in Stoke-on-Trent
Coral dominates Stoke-on-Trent, with more shops than every other bookmaker combined.
Coral has nineteen shops in the city, including Percy Street in Hanley, Campbell Place and Christchurch Street in Stoke and Fenton, and Leek Road in Abbey Hulton. William Hill has four, among them Stafford Street and Tontine Street in Hanley; BOYLE Sports and Ladbrokes two each; and Paddy Power one, on Campbell Place.
We are still confirming full weekly times branch by branch for the non-Betfred shops in Stoke-on-Trent, so they are not listed with live status on this page yet. Every bookmaker in the town is closed on Christmas Day by law.
