Betfred, The Bridge9 The Bridge, Walsall WS1 1LR
The Bridge runs 08:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 22:00 on a Sunday, the only Walsall Betfred open that late seven days a week. A Paddy Power on Bradford Street and a Ladbrokes on Bridge Street are both a short walk away and also trade until 22:00. Distances are straight-line estimates from The Bridge. 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 four branches in one table, nearest the town centre first. Today’s column is highlighted.
Read down the columns and every row is different. The Bridge is the only 22:00 close on a Sunday; Bloxwich matches it Monday to Saturday but shuts at 20:30 on a Sunday; Aldridge closes at 21:00 at weekends; and Queen Elizabeth Avenue never changes at all.

Earliest and latest Betfred shops in Walsall
Full weekly times are published for all four branches, so this section covers every shop on the page.
Open earliest
The Bridge opens at 08:00 Monday to Saturday, the earliest in the town, with Bloxwich matching it on a Saturday. Bloxwich and Aldridge open at 08:30 on weekdays, and Queen Elizabeth Avenue at 09:00. On a Sunday Aldridge opens first at 08:30, then the other three at 09:00.
Open latest
The Bridge, Bloxwich and Aldridge all close at 22:00 on weekdays; Queen Elizabeth Avenue at 20:30. On a Saturday Aldridge drops to 21:00, and on a Sunday only The Bridge is still open at 22:00.
Plenty of competition: Walsall has twelve other betting shops. Ladbrokes has five, including Bridge Street in the centre, Bloxwich High Street and Anchor Parade in Aldridge; Paddy Power three, Coral and William Hill two each, and there is a Jennings in Pelsall. The Ladbrokes in Aldridge and the Paddy Power in Brownhills both run to 22:00.

Betfred Walsall 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 four Walsall branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, Walsall 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 Bridge, Bloxwich and Aldridge and half an hour off Queen Elizabeth Avenue. 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 Walsall 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 Walsall 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 Walsall 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 Walsall |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 Walsall 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 Walsall (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 Bridge branch in the town centre. It tells you whether it is open right now and how long until it closes. The other three have their own live rows in the sections below, and all three close earlier on a Sunday.
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 four Walsall branches.
Betfred across the rest of Walsall
Three more branches serve the rest of the borough: Queen Elizabeth Avenue about a mile and three-quarters north-west, Bloxwich two and a half miles north, and Aldridge three miles north-east.

Queen Elizabeth Avenue keeps the same hours every day, 09:00 to 20:30, so its row never changes. Bloxwich matches the town centre until 22:00 Monday to Saturday and opens at 08:00 on a Saturday, but closes at 20:30 on a Sunday. Aldridge is the only one open before 09:00 on a Sunday.
Betfred near Walsall
The register lists a fifth shop in Brownhills that current listings do not.
The licensing register adds 57A High Street in Brownhills, about four and three-quarter miles north-east, which is absent from current listings, so it has no live row here. The register files the Bloxwich shop under its own post town, though it is inside the Walsall borough and directory sites list it under Walsall. Wednesbury, Willenhall and Darlaston have their own Betfreds under their own post towns.
All four branches are licensed by Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council. If you are heading for Willenhall, Darlaston or Pelsall rather than the town centre, use the location button above: the directions button always routes to the nearest of the four.
Other bookmakers in Walsall
Ladbrokes has the most betting shops in Walsall.
Ladbrokes has the most in Walsall with five shops, among them 10–12 Bridge Street in the centre, 167 High Street in Bloxwich and Anchor Parade in Aldridge. Paddy Power has three, including Bradford Street and Caldmore Green; Coral and William Hill two each; and Jennings one, in Pelsall. Most of them close at 22:00, so The Bridge is matched rather than alone on the late shift.
We are still confirming full weekly times branch by branch for the non-Betfred shops in Walsall, so they are not listed with live status on this page yet. Every bookmaker in the town is closed on Christmas Day by law.
