Betfred, Market StreetUnit 19, 37 Market Street, Wellingborough NN8 1AA
The Market Street shop runs 08:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday and 08:30 to 22:00 on a Sunday. It is in the middle of the town, with a Coral on Cambridge Street and a Ladbrokes on Midland Road both a short walk away and both also open until 22:00. Distances are straight-line estimates from Market Street. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.
Wellingborough 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 nearly uniform: a fourteen-hour day from 08:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday, and thirteen and a half hours on a Sunday from 08:30. The closing time never changes.
| Shop | Mon – Fri | Saturday | Sunday | Find the shop |

Open earliest
08:30 Monday to Friday, 08:00 on a Saturday and 09:00 on a Sunday.
Open latest
22:00, every day of the week.
Worth knowing: Betfred is not alone on the late shift here. The two Corals and the Ladbrokes on Midland Road all close at 22:00 as well, so five shops in the town trade that late and the choice comes down to whichever is nearest.

| Shop | Opens | Closes | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Market StreetUnit 19, 37 Market Street, NN8 1AA | 08:30 | 22:00 |
Thirteen and a half hours on a Sunday covers the racing, the afternoon football and the evening kick-offs. The only difference from the rest of the week is the half-hour later start.
Betfred Wellingborough 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 Wellingborough shop closes on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, the Wellingborough shop usually runs either its normal times for that day of the week or a slightly shorter day. Betfred’s own shop notices have stated that all its shops close at 20:00 on bank holiday Mondays, which would take two hours off the Market 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 Wellingborough 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 Wellingborough 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 Wellingborough |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 Wellingborough 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 Wellingborough (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 Street branch, the only Betfred in Wellingborough. 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 Wellingborough
The register carries an older address under a council that no longer exists.
The licensing register lists 4 Pebble Lane as well as Unit 19, 37 Market Street. The two are about 140 yards apart, and the Pebble Lane licence was granted by Wellingborough Borough Council, which was abolished in 2021 when North Northamptonshire Council took over; Market Street is licensed by the successor authority. Only Market Street appears in current listings, so this looks like the shop’s former address rather than a second branch, and we have given a live row to Market Street only.
The Market Street shop is licensed by North Northamptonshire Council, which also covers Kettering, Corby and Rushden. Kettering, Northampton, Corby and Bedford all have their own Betfred shops under their own post towns; the register lists a Ladbrokes at Irthlingborough under the Wellingborough post town, about three miles east.
Other bookmakers in Wellingborough
Betfred is one of several bookmakers in Wellingborough.
Wellingborough 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 Wellingborough or their hours, so none are listed with live status on this page.

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 140 miles north-west. Wellingborough has a single branch on Market Street, open until 22:00 every day.

Frequently asked questions
- How many Betfred shops are there in Wellingborough?
- One: Unit 19, 37 Market Street in the town centre, licensed by North Northamptonshire Council. The licensing register also lists 4 Pebble Lane, about 140 yards away, but that licence was granted by the old Wellingborough Borough Council, which was abolished in 2021, so it looks like the shop’s previous address rather than a second branch.
- What time does Betfred open in Wellingborough?
- 08:00 Monday to Saturday and 08:30 on a Sunday. That 08:30 Sunday start is earlier than almost any other single-shop town on this site.
- What time does Betfred close in Wellingborough?
- 22:00, every day of the week.
- Is the Wellingborough Betfred open on a Sunday?
- Yes, 08:30 to 22:00 — thirteen and a half hours, the same closing time as the rest of the week, so it covers the racing, the afternoon football and the evening kick-offs.
- 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 Wellingborough 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’s own shop notices have stated that all its shops close at 20:00 on bank holiday Mondays, which would take two hours off the Market Street shop.
- Is there a later-closing bookmaker in Wellingborough?
- No, but there are several that match it. The Coral on Cambridge Street, the Ladbrokes on Midland Road and the Coral on Northampton Road all close at 22:00 too, so Betfred is one of five shops in the town trading that late.
- Why does the licensing register show a Pebble Lane address?
- Because it predates the move. 4 Pebble Lane sits about 140 yards from Market Street and its licence was issued by Wellingborough Borough Council, an authority that ceased to exist in 2021; the Market Street licence is held by its successor, North Northamptonshire Council. Only Market Street appears in current shop listings.
- How do I find the nearest Betfred to me in Wellingborough?
- Tap “Use my current location”. The list re-orders from your position and the directions button routes you to the Market Street shop.
