Truro has one Betfred in current listings: 4 Calenick Street, open 08:00 to 20:30 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 20:30 on a Sunday. The 20:30 close applies every day, and so do the closing times at the Ladbrokes and William Hill nearby, so the whole city centre shuts at the same hour. The licensing register also lists a Betfred at 16 St Nicholas Street, about 160 yards away, which is absent from current listings.

Betfred, Calenick Street4 Calenick Street, Truro TR1 2SF
The Calenick Street shop runs 08:00 to 20:30 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 20:30 on a Sunday. It sits just off Boscawen Street in the middle of Truro, with a Ladbrokes on River Street about 130 yards away and a William Hill on Boscawen Street about 270 yards away. Distances are straight-line estimates from Calenick Street. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.
Truro Betfred opening times compared
The full weekly pattern for the shop in one table. Today’s column is highlighted.
With one shop the table is short, and almost uniform: a twelve-and-a-half-hour day from 08:00 to 20:30 Monday to Saturday, and eleven and a half hours on a Sunday from 09:00. The closing time never changes.
| Shop | Mon – Fri | Saturday | Sunday | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Earliest and latest Betfred shops in Truro
Full weekly times are published for the shop, so this section covers every day of its week.
Open earliest
08:30 Monday to Friday, 08:00 on a Saturday and 09:00 on a Sunday.
Open latest
20:30, every day of the week.
Worth knowing: there is no later option in the city. Both rival shops close at 20:30 too, so for a bet after half past eight the nearest branch is the Betfred at 35–37 East Street in Newquay, about ten and a half miles north, which trades until 22:00.
Betfred Truro Sunday opening times
Sunday on Calenick Street runs 09:00 to 20:30.
| Shop | Opens | Closes | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calenick Street4 Calenick Street, TR1 2SF | 09:00 | 20:30 |
Eleven and a half hours on a Sunday covers the racing, the afternoon football and most evening kick-offs. The only difference from the rest of the week is the hour-later start.
Betfred Truro 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 the Truro shop closes on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, the Truro shop usually runs either its 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 half an hour off the Calenick Street shop. 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 the Truro 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 |
| 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, and the shop would lose an hour if it applies.
| 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 Truro 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 Truro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas Eve | 24 December | — | Normal opening, early close around 18:00 |
| Christmas Day | 25 December | — | Closed all day, both shops |
| 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 Truro branch sets its own festive times and usually posts them in the window from mid-December. The shop sits in the town centre, so its festive hours tend to track the trading pattern of the shops around the Market Place. 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 Truro (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 4 Calenick Street branch, the only Truro Betfred with published times. It tells you whether it is open right now and how long until it closes.
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 Truro
The register lists a second city-centre shop, and one listing filed under Truro is in Penzance.
The licensing register lists 16 St Nicholas Street as well as 4 Calenick Street. The two are about 160 yards apart, around the corner from each other, and only Calenick Street appears in current listings, so this looks like a relocation rather than two branches; we have given a live row to Calenick Street only. Directory sites also file 31 Market Place, Penzance under Truro, though Penzance is about twenty-three and a half miles west and is a separate town.
The Calenick Street shop is licensed by Cornwall Council, which covers the whole county, so Newquay, Penzance, Camborne, Redruth, Falmouth and Helston all fall under the same authority. The register lists Betfreds in each of those towns under their own post towns.
Other bookmakers in Truro
Betfred is one of several bookmakers in Truro.
Truro is not covered by the national directory we use for rival shops, so we have not listed other bookmakers here yet. Every bookmaker in the town is closed on Christmas Day by law.
We have not yet confirmed which other bookmakers trade in Truro or their hours, so none are listed with live status on this page.
