Important Christmas Betting Information
Please note that Christmas opening times can vary between individual Coral shops. The hours listed above are typical for most locations, but we strongly recommend confirming with your local shop before visiting during the festive period.
Some shops in smaller towns or quieter areas may have different hours or additional closures during Christmas. City centre locations and those near major transport hubs are more likely to maintain extended hours where possible.
