Most betting shops close between 9pm and 10pm, and few open before 8am. If you want a bet late in the evening or early in the morning, the towns below have at least one shop that does it, going by the hours we hold. The lists update when a shop’s hours change.

Before you go

  • Late hours are often for some days only. Check the shop’s page for the day you plan to go.
  • Sunday is usually the shortest day. See Sunday opening times.
  • The shop finder shows which shops near you are open right now and when they close.
  • Hours can change at short notice. If a shop’s hours are wrong, use the report link on its page.

For typical opening and closing times across all six bookmakers, see betting shop opening times.
