How can I add a specific, custom widget to my theme’s header.php?

The WordPress codex mentions you should call the Widget Class name. Could it be that openingTimesWidget is a function instead of a Class? Following the WP Class naming convention your class would be written like this Opening_Times_Widget.

Another possible reason that the widget is not displaying could have to do with the way your theme loads. I encountered a situation with the Roots theme where a widget in the site header would not load. This was caused by the specific way that Roots loads the theme.
