Telford is a new town stitched together from older ones, and its six Betfreds sit in six separate places: the shopping centre, Dawley, Oakengates, Madeley, Trench and Wellington. No two of them keep the same week. The shopping-centre branch is the only one open until 22:00, yet it is also the first to shut on a Sunday, at 18:00.

The shopping-centre branch runs 09:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday, the longest day of any Telford Betfred, but only 10:00 to 18:00 on a Sunday, the shortest. There is a Ladbrokes in the same building, at Unit 3b, which trades until 22:00 seven days a week. Distances are straight-line estimates from the shopping centre. 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 all six branches in one table, nearest the town centre first. Today’s column is highlighted.
Every row in this table is different. The shopping centre runs latest Monday to Saturday at 22:00; Oakengates, Madeley and Wellington close at 21:30; Dawley at 21:00; and Trench at 20:30, dropping to 20:00 at weekends. The Sunday column is the widest spread on the page, from 18:00 to 20:30.

Earliest and latest Betfred shops in Telford
Full weekly times are published for all six branches, so this section covers every shop on the page.
Open earliest
Dawley, Madeley and Wellington open at 08:30 on weekdays; the shopping centre, Oakengates and Trench at 09:00. Dawley opens earliest of all on a Saturday, at 08:00, and Oakengates moves to 08:30. On a Sunday, Madeley, Dawley and Trench open at 09:00, Oakengates and Wellington at 09:30, and the shopping centre at 10:00.
Open latest
The shopping centre closes at 22:00 Monday to Saturday. Oakengates, Madeley and Wellington close at 21:30, Dawley at 21:00, and Trench at 20:30 on weekdays and 20:00 on a Saturday.
Rivals at the same address: three of the six have a bookmaker on their doorstep. The Ladbrokes at Unit 3b shares Hazeldine House with the shopping-centre Betfred; a Coral is listed at 1 Crown Street in Wellington, the Betfred’s own address, and trades until 22:00; and a Coral at 18–20 High Street in Dawley shares the Betfred’s postcode.
Betfred Telford Sunday opening times
Sunday is the shortest day at every Telford Betfred.
| Shop | Opens | Closes | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakengates49 Market Street, TF2 6EL | 09:30 | 20:30 | |
| Wellington1 Crown Street, TF1 1LP | 09:30 | 20:30 | |
| Madeley2 Russell Road, TF7 5BB | 09:00 | 20:00 | |
| TrenchUnit 2, 107 Trench Road, TF2 7DP | 09:00 | 20:00 | |

| Telford Shopping CentreUnit 8, Hazeldine House, TF3 4JL | 10:00 | 18:00 |
Oakengates and Wellington are the last to close on a Sunday, at 20:30, followed by Madeley and Trench at 20:00, Dawley at 19:00 and the shopping centre at 18:00. So the town-centre shop, the latest-closing branch for six days of the week, is the earliest to shut on the seventh.
Betfred Telford 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 six Telford branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, Telford 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 the shopping centre, ninety minutes off Oakengates, Madeley and Wellington, an hour off Dawley and half an hour off Trench. 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 Telford 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 an hour off the Telford 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 Telford 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 Telford |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 Telford 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 Telford (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 shopping-centre branch. It tells you whether it is open right now and how long until it closes. The other five have their own live rows in the sections below, and because every Telford branch keeps different hours it is worth checking the one you are actually heading to.
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 Telford branches.
Betfred across the rest of Telford
Five more branches serve the older towns that make up Telford: Dawley and Oakengates, both a little over a mile from the centre, Madeley and Trench about two and three-quarter miles out, and Wellington three and a half miles north-west.

Betfred near Telford
The licensing register lists five of these six shops.
The Telford Shopping Centre branch appears in current listings but not in the licensing register we hold, which lists the other five. We have given it a live row because its weekly times are published. The register also records the Madeley shop as 2 Russell Square rather than 2 Russell Road; it is the same shop.
All six branches are licensed by Telford & Wrekin Council. Shrewsbury, about twelve miles west, has betting shops but no Betfred in current listings; the nearest Betfreds outside Telford are in Bridgnorth and Market Drayton.
Other bookmakers in Telford
Ladbrokes has the most betting shops in Telford.
Ladbrokes has five shops in Telford, including Hazeldine House in the town centre, Oxford Street in Oakengates, Russell Square in Madeley and Wellington Road in Donnington. Coral has three, at Crown Street in Wellington, High Street in Dawley and The Parade in Donnington, and William Hill one, on New Street in Wellington. The Coral in Donnington and the town-centre Ladbrokes both trade until 22:00.
We are still confirming full weekly times branch by branch for the non-Betfred shops in Telford, so they are not listed with live status on this page yet. Every bookmaker in the town is closed on Christmas Day by law.
