Bookmakers Bank Holiday Opening Times
Traditional bank holidays are always a blast as we get to relax and hang out with friends and family. However, for serious bettors, they can be a nuisance. That’s because bookie opening times are affected by bank holidays such as New Years Day and Easter Monday, when there’s often plenty of action.
While most will stay closed on Bank Holidays, you’ll be glad to know that most UK bookmakers open their doors on boxing day. It’s the same with almost any other bank holiday, although this largely depends on the bookie’s management. In this guide, we’ll check out the opening times of the top UK bookmakers for bank holidays, including New Year’s Eve.
Ladbrokes Bank Holidays Opening Times
As one of the leading bookies in the UK, Ladbrokes has a busy schedule. Ladbrokes shops are open almost every day during the year, with the exception of Bank Holidays Day. Luckily, they’re open for other bank holidays, including Boxing Day when there’s PL action, and New Year’s Eve.
One note – the opening times on bank holidays are usually the same as on Sundays. So, you can expect Ladbrokes shops to open an hour later than the usual on December 31 and January 1. It’s still open shop, and there’s a lot of sports action, so if you want to keep in touch, you can visit your local Ladbrokes shop.
Betfred Bank Holidays Opening Times
The situation’s similar to Betfred. As one of the top bookmakers in the UK, Betfred will keep its shops open on bank holidays. The opening hours will almost certainly differ from the usual Monday-Saturday, but determined bettors won’t let that keep them out of the question.
Coral Bank Holidays Opening Times
With thousands of betting shops across the UK, Coral remains one of its most popular bookies. Its betting shops have Sunday opening hours for bank holidays, including New Year’s Eve. Of course, the online betting site is open 24/7 on any holiday, so if you don’t feel like taking a walk, you can always bet online.
Paddy Power Bank Holidays Opening Times
Paddy Power’s bank holiday opening times are the same as on Sundays. So, instead of 8:00, its betting shop doors are open 9:00 AM. Aside from Christmas, the shops are open on all bank holidays, and the online betting site is live all the time if you want to bet on any holiday.
William Hill Bank Holidays Opening Times
William Hill is one of the world’s largest bookmakers, so it has a reputation to uphold. It’s open most days of the year, with the exception of Christmas Day. WH’s shops are open on bank holidays, but they might open a bit later in smaller areas. Check our website for fully updated opening times when a bank holiday comes.
Jennings Bank Holidays Opening Times
Last, but not least, Jennings adopts the same bank holiday policy as the other bookies on the list. Its shops open a bit later, but they are active on these days. Of course, you can always opt for the online betting site if you’re running late before closing, which is live 24/7.
