The opening hours of betting shops in the UK can vary depending on the bookmaker and location. However, most betting shops typically open at 9am and close at 10pm, seven days a week.
Some bookmakers may open their shops earlier or close later, particularly during major sporting events such as the Cheltenham Festival or the World Cup. However, these extended opening hours are usually advertised in advance and are not the norm.
It’s worth noting that some local authorities in the UK have the power to set their own opening hours for betting shops within their jurisdiction. For example, some councils may require betting shops to close earlier on Sundays or limit the number of late-night openings during the week.
It’s always a good idea to check the opening hours of your local betting shop before making a trip, as they can vary depending on location and local regulations. Most bookmakers have a store locator tool on their website that allows you to find the opening hours of your nearest betting shop.
