Ladbrokes Near Me in Swansea
Ladbrokes Near Me in Swansea
Quick answer: Swansea has five Ladbrokes branches with published hours, spread from Union Street in the centre out to Clydach five and a half miles up the valley. Only two close at 10:00pm on a weekday, and the city has an unusually early Sunday: every branch is shut by 10:00pm and three of the five by 7:00pm.

Where Swansea's Ladbrokes branches actually are
Swansea's five branches follow the shape of the city itself: one in the centre, two heading east along the Tawe towards St Thomas and the Enterprise Park, and two running north-west through Cwmbwrla and up to Clydach. There is nothing in Sketty, Uplands or Mumbles, so the western suburbs are the gap in the map.
The city centre: Union Street
Union Street is the only Ladbrokes in central Swansea, a couple of minutes from Castle Square and the Quadrant. It opens at 8:00am Monday to Saturday — the earliest in the city — and closes at 10:00pm on weekdays.
The catch is Saturday, when it closes at 8:00pm, two hours earlier than during the week. On Sunday it swings the other way, opening at 9:30am and trading until 10:00pm, which makes it the only branch in Swansea open that late on a Sunday night.
East Swansea: St Thomas and Llansamlet
St Thomas on Delhi Street is the second-closest branch to the centre but keeps notably shorter hours: 9:30am to 9:00pm on weekdays, and 9:00am to 7:00pm on Saturday. It is a limited-hours shop on the edge of the centre rather than a late option.
Llansamlet, in the Samlet Shopping Centre on the Enterprise Park, runs 8:30am to 9:00pm on weekdays with free parking on site — the easiest branch in the city to reach by car. It closes at 8:00pm on Saturday and 7:00pm on Sunday.
West and north: Cwmbwrla and Clydach
Cwmbwrla on Pentregethin Road is the strongest suburban branch, holding 8:30am to 10:00pm on weekdays and 8:30am to 9:30pm on Saturday. It drops to 9:00am to 7:00pm on Sunday.
Clydach, five and a half miles up the Tawe valley, keeps the shortest day in the city: 8:30am to 7:00pm six days a week, and 9:00am to 6:00pm on Sunday — the earliest closing time anywhere in Swansea.
The western suburbs have no Ladbrokes
Worth knowing before you set off: there is no Ladbrokes in Sketty, Uplands, Mumbles, Townhill or Morriston. The betting shops on those high streets belong to other chains. If a listing promises a Ladbrokes in one of those areas, it is almost certainly pointing at a closed site.
Ladbrokes opening times in Swansea, day by day
The ranges below come from the five Swansea branches on this page rather than a national average for the chain. The Saturday and Sunday rows are the ones to read closely, because Swansea's weekend hours are shorter than its weekdays.
Ranges across the 5 Swansea branches listed above. Individual shops set their own hours under local licensing conditions.
| Day | Earliest opening | Typical opening | Typical closing | Earliest closing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | 8am | 8:30am | 9pm – 10pm | 7pm | Two branches hold 10:00pm |
| Tuesday | 8am | 8:30am | 9pm – 10pm | 7pm | Quietest day; full hours still kept |
| Wednesday | 8am | 8:30am | 9pm – 10pm | 7pm | Midweek football and evening racing |
| Thursday | 8am | 8:30am | 9pm – 10pm | 7pm | European nights lift late demand |
| Friday | 8am | 8:30am | 9pm – 10pm | 7pm | Busy from late afternoon onwards |
| Saturday | 8am | 8am – 8:30am | 7pm – 8pm | 7pm | Busiest day, but Union Street closes two hours early |
| Sunday | 9am | 9am – 9:30am | 7pm | 6pm | Later opening; three branches shut by 7:00pm |
Earliest opening in Swansea
Union Street opens at 8:00am Monday to Saturday and is the only Swansea branch trading before 8:30am. Cwmbwrla, Llansamlet and Clydach all follow at 8:30am on weekdays, with Llansamlet pulling Saturday forward to 8:00am. The latest weekday start is St Thomas at 9:30am. On Sunday, opening runs only from 9:00am to 9:30am.
Latest closing in Swansea
Only two branches reach 10:00pm on a weekday: Union Street and Cwmbwrla. St Thomas and Llansamlet close at 9:00pm, and Clydach at 7:00pm, the earliest in the city. Saturday reshuffles things badly — Union Street drops to 8:00pm while Cwmbwrla holds 9:30pm, so on a Saturday night Cwmbwrla is the latest shop in Swansea, not the city-centre one.
Sunday is the day that catches people out
Only Union Street holds 10:00pm on a Sunday, and it is the sole late option in the whole city. St Thomas, Llansamlet and Cwmbwrla all close at 7:00pm, and Clydach at 6:00pm. If you are outside the centre on a Sunday evening, plan to be served before seven.
What to expect inside a Swansea Ladbrokes
The shops are far more standardised than the hours. Every branch on this list is a licensed betting office regulated by the Gambling Commission, and the practical details are much the same from Union Street to Clydach.
- Over-the-counter betting on racing, football and most other sports, with staff who will write a bet up if you are unsure.
- Self-service betting terminals for placing bets without queueing at the counter.
- Live racing and sport on screen through the trading day.
- Grid card linking, so a bet placed in the shop can be tracked or settled through the app.
- Cash withdrawals of online winnings at the counter, subject to ID and the shop holding enough cash.
- Card and cash both accepted, though staking limits apply on machines.
- Free parking on site at the Llansamlet branch in the Samlet Shopping Centre, which is unusual and makes it the easiest of the five to drive to.
- Think 21 and Think 25 age checks operated in every branch, without exception.
Getting there
Union Street is two minutes from Castle Square and about five from the Quadrant bus station, which is where most services into Swansea terminate. St Thomas is a short walk east across the river. Llansamlet sits on the Enterprise Park and is served by the buses out to Morriston, with free parking if you drive. Cwmbwrla and Clydach both sit on the main road north-west out of the city.
Driving into the centre means the Quadrant or St David's multi-storeys, since Union Street has no parking of its own. Llansamlet is the exception among the five and has free parking on site. Cwmbwrla and Clydach both have on-street parking nearby. The directions button on each listing opens Google Maps in walking mode by default.
Before you travel. Check the closing time, not just whether the shop is currently open. Counter service usually winds down before the doors physically shut, so allow at least 20 minutes if you need to be served rather than use a terminal — particularly if you are collecting a large payout or withdrawing online winnings in cash.
18+ only. Every branch operates Think 21 or Think 25, so bring photo ID if you look under 25. A passport, UK photocard driving licence or PASS-accredited card will do.
Frequently asked questions
Which Ladbrokes are open near me in Swansea right now?
The live table at the top of this page answers that directly. It reads your device clock, sorts all five Swansea branches by distance and marks each one open, closing soon or closed, with a countdown to the exact closing time. Tap use my current location to re-sort the list around where you are rather than around Castle Square.
Is there a Ladbrokes in Swansea city centre?
Yes, one: Union Street, a couple of minutes from Castle Square. It opens at 8:00am and closes at 10:00pm Monday to Friday, but note that it closes at 8:00pm on Saturday — two hours earlier than on a weekday.
What time does Ladbrokes close in Swansea?
Two branches close at 10:00pm on a weekday: Union Street and Cwmbwrla. St Thomas and Llansamlet close at 9:00pm, and Clydach at 7:00pm.
Which Ladbrokes in Swansea is open latest on a Sunday?
Union Street, until 10:00pm — the only Swansea branch open that late on a Sunday. Everything else closes at 7:00pm, and Clydach at 6:00pm.
Which Swansea Ladbrokes is easiest to reach by car?
Llansamlet, in the Samlet Shopping Centre on the Enterprise Park. It has free parking on site, which none of the other four branches offer. It opens at 8:30am and closes at 9:00pm on weekdays.
Is there a Ladbrokes in Sketty, Uplands or Mumbles?
No. Ladbrokes has no branch in Sketty, Uplands, Mumbles, Townhill or Morriston. The betting shops on those high streets belong to other chains, so listings showing a Ladbrokes in those areas are usually referring to a closed site.
Are there any 24-hour Ladbrokes shops in Swansea?
No. UK licensed betting offices cannot trade around the clock, and the latest any Swansea Ladbrokes closes is 10:00pm. If the shops are shut, licensed online betting remains available to verified account holders.
Can I withdraw online winnings at a Ladbrokes shop here?
Generally yes, at the counter, using your Grid card or account details along with photo ID. It depends on the cash the shop is holding at the time, so for a large withdrawal phone the branch first on 0800 022 3454.
Do the opening hours change on bank holidays?
Yes. Most branches open on bank holidays but run reduced, Sunday-style hours. Christmas Day is the one date on which almost every UK betting shop closes. Holiday hours are set locally and change from year to year.
Why do Google and the Ladbrokes shop finder show different hours?
Third-party listings lag behind real changes, particularly around holidays, staffing gaps and refurbishments. When the two disagree, phone the branch. That is the only source reflecting today's actual position.
Safer gambling and support
Every shop listed here is licensed by the Gambling Commission and must offer the standard player protection tools: deposit and time limits on machines, self-exclusion, and staff trained to talk it through with you. Multi-Operator Self-Exclusion lets you block yourself from every betting shop within a chosen radius with a single request, and it covers rival brands as well as Ladbrokes. In Swansea that is worth knowing, since rival chains hold several of the high streets where Ladbrokes has no branch.
- Set a limit before you go, and treat it as fixed.
- Only stake money you can genuinely afford to lose.
- Do not chase losses — the most common route into difficulty.
- Take breaks, and avoid betting when stressed or under the influence.
