Swindon Betfred opening times compared

The full weekly pattern for all six branches in one table. Today’s column is highlighted.

Old Town, Moredon and Dorcan all close at 20:30 on every day of the week, so only their opening times change. Bridge Street and Gorse Hill are the late pair Monday to Saturday, and West Swindon is the only shop whose Saturday differs from its weekdays.

Earliest and latest Betfred shops in Swindon

Full weekly times are published for all six Swindon branches, so this section covers every shop on the page.

Open earliest

No Swindon Betfred opens before 08:00, and only Dorcan starts that early. Old Town, Moredon and West Swindon open at 08:30 on weekdays, and Bridge Street and Gorse Hill at 09:00. Gorse Hill is the one shop that opens earlier on a Saturday, at 08:30.

Open latest

Two branches trade until 22:00 Monday to Saturday: Bridge Street in the town centre and Gorse Hill on Cricklade Road. West Swindon closes at 21:00 on weekdays and 20:00 at weekends, and Old Town, Moredon and Dorcan close at 20:30 all week.

Betfred Swindon Sunday opening times

Sunday is simple in Swindon: every one of the six branches opens at 09:00. The only difference is the closing time, which runs from 18:00 to 22:00.

No Swindon Betfred is open past 20:30 on a Sunday. Four close at 20:30 — Old Town, Gorse Hill, Moredon and Dorcan — with West Swindon at 20:00 and Bridge Street at 18:00. Sunday openings run from 09:00 to 10:00.

Betfred Swindon bank holiday opening times

Betting shops in England and Wales 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 six Swindon branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.

On the other bank holidays, Swindon branches usually run either their normal times for that day of the week or a slightly shorter day. 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 Swindon branch to follow its usual pattern for that day.

May and August bank holidays

The early May, spring and summer bank holidays all fall on a Monday. Betfred has in past years announced a chain-wide early close on some bank holiday Mondays, so check the window card or the Betfred shop finder the week before.

Christmas and New Year opening times

The festive fortnight is the only stretch of the year when Swindon 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.

How the live opening times work

Everything live on this page reads the clock in Swindon (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 three Betfred branches closest to the middle of Swindon. It tells you how many are open right now, which is next to close and how long you have. The other three 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 six Swindon branches.

Betfred in Moredon, West Swindon and Dorcan

Three more branches serve the edges of the town: Moredon to the north, West Swindon by the district centre, and Dorcan to the east. All three are licensed by Swindon Borough Council and publish full weekly times.

About Betfred in Swindon

Betfred began in Salford in 1967, when brothers Fred and Peter Done opened their first betting shop, and it runs its estate from Birchwood in Warrington, about 150 miles north. Swindon has six branches in current listings, two of them open until 22:00 Monday to Saturday.

For rail travellers, 56–57 Bridge Street is the closest branch to Swindon station, about a quarter of a mile, and it trades until 22:00 Monday to Saturday. On a Sunday it closes at 18:00, so head for Gorse Hill instead.

Frequently asked questions

How many Betfred shops are there in Swindon?

Six in current listings: 56–57 Bridge Street in the town centre, Old Town on Devizes Road, Gorse Hill on Cricklade Road, Moredon, West Swindon and Dorcan. All six are licensed by Swindon Borough Council. The licensing register also lists a Betfred at Taw Hill Village Centre, which does not appear in current listings.

What time does Betfred close in Swindon?

Two shops trade until 22:00 Monday to Saturday: Bridge Street and Gorse Hill. West Swindon closes at 21:00 on weekdays, and Old Town, Moredon and Dorcan at 20:30. Every Swindon Betfred closes by 20:30 on a Sunday, and Bridge Street shuts at 18:00.

What time does Betfred open in Swindon?

Dorcan is the earliest, at 08:00 Monday to Saturday. Old Town, Moredon and West Swindon open at 08:30 on weekdays, and Bridge Street and Gorse Hill at 09:00. Gorse Hill opens half an hour earlier on a Saturday, at 08:30.

Which Betfred in Swindon is open latest on a Sunday?

Four shops are open until 20:30 on a Sunday: Old Town, Gorse Hill, Moredon and Dorcan. West Swindon closes at 20:00. Bridge Street, the latest-closing shop the rest of the week, closes earliest on a Sunday, at 18:00.

Is Betfred open on Christmas Day?

No. Every betting shop in Great Britain is closed on Christmas Day. It is a condition attached to premises licences under the Gambling Act 2005, not a company decision.

Are Betfred shops in Swindon open on bank holidays?

Yes. Good Friday, Easter Monday and the May and August bank holidays are all trading days, usually on normal or slightly shortened hours. Betfred has in past years announced a chain-wide 20:00 close on bank holiday Mondays, which would take two hours off Bridge Street and Gorse Hill, an hour off West Swindon and half an hour off the other three.

Why are there two listings for the West Swindon Betfred?

Directory sites carry two records at SN5 7DL, one as Unit B8, West Swindon District Centre and one as Whitehill Way, with different hours and different phone numbers. The district centre is on Whitehill Way and the licensing register lists a single premises there, so they are almost certainly the same shop. We show the more cautious set of times: 08:30 to 21:00 on weekdays and 09:30 to 20:00 at weekends. The other record gives 08:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 20:30 on a Sunday, so call ahead if you are making a late journey.

Which Betfred is nearest to Swindon station and the County Ground?

56–57 Bridge Street is the closest to the station, about a quarter of a mile. For the County Ground, Gorse Hill on Cricklade Road is nearest, a little over half a mile, and it trades until 22:00 Monday to Saturday.

Are the Royal Wootton Bassett and Highworth Betfreds on this page?

No. Both are about five and a half miles out and are separate towns: Royal Wootton Bassett is licensed by Wiltshire Council, and Highworth, though in the Swindon borough, is its own town. Neither appears in current Swindon listings.

How do I find the nearest Betfred to me in Swindon?

Tap “Use my current location”. Every list on this page then re-orders nearest-first, and the directions button at the top routes you to the closest of the six Swindon Betfred shops.
