Nine Betfred shops, eight different weeks. Only Blakenhall and Heath Town match each other, both running 09:00 to 22:00 on all nine days. Six of the nine close at 22:00 on weekdays and five hold that on a Sunday, which makes Wolverhampton the latest-closing city on this site. The exceptions are worth knowing: Wednesfield shuts at 20:30 every day, Dudley Road closes at 20:30 except on Saturdays when it runs to 22:00, and Willenhall closes later each day-type, ending with a 22:00 Sunday.

Betfred, Princess Street4–5 Princess Street, Wolverhampton WV1 1HD
Princess Street runs 08:00 to 22:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 22:00 on a Sunday, so it closes at 22:00 on all nine days. Princess Street is the busiest bookmaking street in the city: a Paddy Power stands at number 1, a Coral at 34 sharing the Betfred’s postcode, and a BOYLE Sports at 37. Distances are straight-line estimates from Princess Street. Street View opens at the shop’s position, so you may need to turn the view to face the shopfront.

Betfred Wolverhampton 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 nine Wolverhampton branches close on 25 December by law rather than by choice.
On the other bank holidays, Wolverhampton branches usually run either their 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 six shops that normally close at 22:00, an hour off Willenhall and half an hour off Dudley Road and Wednesfield. 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 Wolverhampton 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 Wolverhampton 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 Wolverhampton 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 Wolverhampton |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 Wolverhampton 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 Wolverhampton (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 Princess Street branch in the city centre. It tells you whether it is open right now and how long until it closes. The other eight have their own live rows in the sections below.
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 nine Wolverhampton branches.
Betfred across the rest of Wolverhampton
Eight more branches serve the rest of the city: Blakenhall, Dudley Road and Heath Town within a mile of the centre, then Wednesfield, Merry Hill and Oxley about two miles out, and Bilston and Willenhall beyond them.

Blakenhall and Heath Town are the only pair in the city that match: 09:00 to 22:00 on all nine days. Dudley Road, between them geographically, is the opposite: 20:30 on weekdays and Sundays but 22:00 on a Saturday. Further out, Oxley keeps a 22:00 close every day, Merry Hill and Bilston lose it on a Sunday, Wednesfield never reaches it at all, and Willenhall builds to it.
Betfred near Wolverhampton
One shop is licensed by a different council, and the register has a postcode that looks like a slip.
The Willenhall shop at 29 Market Place is licensed by Walsall Council rather than City of Wolverhampton, though it carries the Wolverhampton post town and appears in Wolverhampton listings; our Walsall page covers only the four shops in the Walsall post town, so Willenhall belongs here. The register we hold gives the Princess Street shop as WV1 1HQ, but that postcode belongs to 1 Princess Street, where the Paddy Power trades; the Betfred at 4–5 is WV1 1HD, which is what current listings show, so the register entry looks like a transcription slip. The register also omits 36 Lower Villiers Street in Blakenhall, which publishes full weekly times and has a live row here.
Eight of the nine are licensed by City of Wolverhampton Council and Willenhall by Walsall Council. Bilston and Willenhall both carry the Wolverhampton post town; Wednesbury, Darlaston and Tipton have their own Betfred shops under their own post towns, and Wednesbury has its own page on this site. If you are heading for Bushbury, Fordhouses or Penn, use the location button above: the directions button always routes to the nearest of the nine.
Other bookmakers in Wolverhampton
Ladbrokes has the most betting shops in Wolverhampton.
William Hill has seven shops in Wolverhampton, Ladbrokes five, Coral two, and BOYLE Sports and Paddy Power one each: sixteen against Betfred’s nine. The Paddy Power and Coral on Princess Street both run to 22:00, matching the Betfred there; the William Hill on Wood End Road keeps the shortest day of any bookmaker in the city at 10:00 to 18:30.
We are still confirming full weekly times branch by branch for the non-Betfred shops in Wolverhampton, so they are not listed with live status on this page yet. Every bookmaker in the town is closed on Christmas Day by law.

Eight are licensed by City of Wolverhampton Council; the Willenhall shop is licensed by Walsall Council but carries the Wolverhampton post town.
- What time does Betfred close in Wolverhampton?
- Six of the nine close at 22:00 on weekdays: Princess Street, Blakenhall, Heath Town, Merry Hill, Oxley and Bilston. Willenhall closes at 21:00, and Dudley Road and Wednesfield at 20:30. On a Saturday everything except Wednesfield and Willenhall reaches 22:00.
- What time does Betfred open in Wolverhampton?
- Princess Street and Bilston open at 08:00 Monday to Saturday, the earliest in the city. Wednesfield, Merry Hill, Oxley and Willenhall open at 08:30, and Blakenhall, Dudley Road and Heath Town at 09:00. On a Sunday everything opens at 09:00 except Bilston at 08:30.
- Which Betfred in Wolverhampton is open latest on a Sunday?
- Five of them share a 22:00 Sunday close: Princess Street, Blakenhall, Heath Town, Oxley and Willenhall. Bilston, Merry Hill, Dudley Road and Wednesfield all close at 20:30.
- 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.
- Do any Wolverhampton Betfreds keep the same hours?
- Only one pair. Lower Villiers Street in Blakenhall and the Crossways centre in Heath Town both run 09:00 to 22:00 on all nine days. The other seven shops each keep a week of their own, which is the widest spread of any town on this site.
- Which Wolverhampton Betfred is open longest on a Saturday?
- Princess Street and Bilston, both 08:00 to 22:00. Dudley Road is the surprise: it closes at 20:30 on weekdays and Sundays but stays open until 22:00 on a Saturday, ninety minutes later than its own usual close.
- Is the Willenhall shop really in Wolverhampton?
- It carries the Wolverhampton post town and appears in Wolverhampton listings, but its premises licence is held by Walsall Council. Its closing time is unusual too: 21:00 on weekdays, 21:30 on a Saturday and 22:00 on a Sunday, so it is the only shop on this site whose Sunday is its latest night of the week.
- Are there any Betfred shops sharing a postcode with a rival in Wolverhampton?
- Four. On Princess Street a Coral is at number 34 with the Betfred at 4–5; on Bilston’s Church Street a Ladbrokes at 93 and a William Hill at 97a–97b share WV14 0BJ with the Betfred at 102a; a Ladbrokes at 480b Stafford Road shares WV10 6AN with the Betfred at 516; and a Ladbrokes at 17 Market Place shares WV13 2AA with the Willenhall Betfred.
- How do I find the nearest Betfred to me in Wolverhampton?
- Tap “Use my current location”. Every list on this page then re-orders nearest-first, and the directions button at the top routes you to the closest of the nine Wolverhampton shops.
