Shopping Centres

Bournemouth is so much more than just a seaside resort, with the main town centre just a stone’s throw away for the beautiful beaches and landscaped gardens.

Within the main town, you will come across a selection of smaller arcades and shopping centres, including The Avenue and Richmond Garden Shopping Centre, both of which offer a fantastic selection of local independent shops, attractions, and eateries, mixed with larger, more familiar brand names.

The largest shopping park in the UK is located in Bournemouth, just 4 miles out of the main town centre and beaches. Castlepoint offers the very best of high street brands, along with dining options, so you can have a really fabulous shopping experience.  There are over 3000 free parking spaces, allowing you to stay for up to 4 hours. The centre is outdoors with sheltered walkways, making it the perfect all-weather destination. Castlepoint is fully accessible and dog-friendly.

In the coastal village of Boscombe, you will find the Sovereign Shopping Centre, located in the heart of the bustling pedestrian precinct, catering for all your needs with over 40 stores, including high street brands and specialist stores.  The centre also has their own handy multi-story car park right next door, offering good value parking options.

The Royal Arcade in Boscombe and the Westbourne Arcade in the coastal village of Westbourne, offer stunning architecture and host an eclectic mix of shops and cafes.

Over in the neighbouring town of Poole, you will discover the indoor, Dolphin Shopping Centre, home to over 80 stores offering the best in fashion, lifestyle, gifts, and homewares.
