Betfred, High Street249–251 Duchess Parade, High Street, West Bromwich B70 7LX
The Duchess Parade shop runs 08:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 22:00 on a Sunday. It sits in the Sandwell Centre end of the High Street, a few doors from a Paddy Power at 238, a Ladbrokes at 240 and a BOYLE Sports also at 240. Distances are straight-line estimates from the High Street. 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 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 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 West Bromwich
Full weekly times are published for the shop, so this section covers every day of its week.
Open earliest
08:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 on a Sunday.
Open latest
22:00, every day of the week.
First open on the parade: the Paddy Power, Ladbrokes and BOYLE Sports on Duchess Parade, and the Coral at 264 High Street, all open at 09:00, so for the first hour of each weekday morning the Betfred is the only one trading. At the other end of the day three of them match its 22:00 close and the BOYLE Sports shuts at 21:00.
Betfred West Bromwich Sunday opening times
Sunday on Duchess Parade runs 09:00 to 22:00.
| Shop | Opens | Closes | Find the shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| High Street249–251 Duchess Parade, High Street, B70 7LX | 09:00 | 22:00 |
Thirteen 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 hour-later start, which on a Sunday puts it level with its neighbours.
Betfred West Bromwich 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 West Bromwich shop closes on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, the West Bromwich 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 High 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 West Bromwich 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 West Bromwich 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 West Bromwich |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 West Bromwich 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 West Bromwich (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 High Street branch, the only Betfred in West Bromwich. 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 West Bromwich
The register carries an older address under a council that no longer exists.
The licensing register lists 5A Hall Green Road, B71 3JS, as well as 249–251 Duchess Parade. Hall Green Road is about two miles north, towards Stone Cross, and does not appear in current shop listings, so we cannot show live times for it and have given a live row to Duchess Parade only. A Ladbrokes at 283–285 Walsall Road serves that end of the borough, listed until 21:30.
The Duchess Parade shop is licensed by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, which also covers Wednesbury, Tipton, Oldbury and Smethwick. Wednesbury has its own Betfred shops under its own post town, on this site’s Wednesbury page; Oldbury, Smethwick and Tipton carry their own post towns too.
