Bank holiday opening times
Bank holidays are normal trading days for betting shops in England and Wales, with a single legal exception. The Gambling Act 2005 attaches a condition to every betting premises licence that rules out gambling on Christmas Day, so 25 December is a closure by law.
Elsewhere in the calendar, expect either normal times or a slightly shorter day. Here is how the bank holidays usually look at Betfred Ormskirk Road.
Easter opening times
Betting shops have been permitted to open on Good Friday since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force, and there is no legal restriction on Easter Sunday trading in Great Britain. Expect this shop to run a normal weekend pattern across the Easter weekend.
| Day | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good Friday | Friday before Easter Sunday | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
| Easter Saturday | Saturday before Easter Sunday | — | 08:30 – 22:00 |
| Easter Sunday | First Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March | — | 09:30 – 22:00 |
| Easter Monday | Day after Easter Sunday | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
Good Friday racing in Britain dates from 2014, when the All-Weather Championships Finals Day was first run on it, so there is an afternoon card to follow. Easter Monday is one of the biggest jumps days of the spring, with several meetings running at once.
May bank holiday opening times
Both May bank holidays, the first Monday and the last Monday of the month, run on normal Monday times at Betfred Ormskirk Road.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early May bank holiday | First Monday in May | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
| Spring bank holiday | Last Monday in May | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
August bank holiday opening times
The August bank holiday brings a full racing programme and, most years, Premier League football, so the afternoon is the busiest part of the day.
| Bank holiday | Falls on | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summer bank holiday | Last Monday in August | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
Christmas opening times
At Betfred Ormskirk Road, the weekly pattern holds for almost the whole year and only changes over Christmas and New Year. Christmas Day is a legal closure, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve finish early, and the days in between stay close to normal because the racing calendar is at its busiest.
| Day | Date | Next date | Opening times |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas Eve | 24 December | — | 09:00 – 18:00 |
| Christmas Day | 25 December | — | Closed all day |
| Boxing Day | 26 December | — | 09:00 – 20:00 |
| 27 to 30 December | Between the holidays | — | Normal times, close 20:00 – 22:00 |
| Substitute bank holiday | When 25 or 26 December falls on a weekend | — | 09:00 – 22:00 |
| New Year's Eve | 31 December | — | 09:00 – 18:00 |
| New Year's Day | 1 January | — | 10:00 – 20:00 |
Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve at Betfred Ormskirk Road usually means a 09:00 open and an early close at about 18:00. Racing fills the afternoon, so that is the busiest spell; if you need to collect winnings, go before late afternoon.
Boxing Day
Boxing Day brings the King George VI Chase at Kempton and a full national racing card, which makes it one of the busiest days of the year in Pemberton. The shop opens as normal and usually closes at about 20:00.
New Year opening times
New Year’s Eve
On New Year’s Eve, Betfred Ormskirk Road opens at its usual time and closes early, generally around 18:00. Bets on the next day’s racing are best placed in the afternoon.
New Year’s Day
New Year’s Day is a bank holiday with a later start than usual, typically around 10:00, and an earlier close in the evening. There is a full jumps racing card, so the shop is open and trading, just on a compressed day.
Festive times vary slightly from branch to branch. Betfred Ormskirk Road normally puts its Christmas times in the window from mid-December; check them, or the Betfred store finder, before a trip on 24, 26 or 31 December.
How the live opening times panel works
The status panel at the top of the page works from the current UK time and the published times for Betfred Ormskirk Road, so the open or closed flag, today’s close and the countdown are always current. A few details on how it behaves:
What the status means
The flag reads Open during published trading times and Closed outside them. While the shop is closed, the countdown shows the time until it next opens; while it is open, it shows the time until closing, which matters most in the last hour.
Last bets and settling up
Counters stop taking cash bets a few minutes before the published closing time so staff can settle the day’s slips and cash up. If you are collecting winnings, aim to be in the shop at least ten minutes before close.
Getting there
Use the buttons at the top of the page to open the shop in Google Maps, plot a route from your current position, or preview the street in Street View. Pemberton station is about eight minutes’ walk, with trains to Wigan and Liverpool.
