Furniture retailer sets Bournemouth store opening date

Furniture retailer Woods Furniture has announced the opening of its new store at Castlepoint Shopping Centre in Bournemouth.

Established in 1875, Woods operates two successful stores in Dorchester and will introduce its furniture collections and an extensive selection of home accessories, including vases, faux florals, rugs, cushions, throws and ornaments to Castlepoint’s shoppers.

Woods’ new 8,438sqft store will complement the scheme’s existing homeware line-up as Castlepoint’s first dedicated furniture brand, joining the likes of HomeSense, Easy Bathrooms, ProCook, TK Maxx and Next.

The new store, which is part of wider plans to grow its presence, will officially open on Thursday 21 May 2026 and takes over the former Lakeland unit.

To mark the opening, the retailer is hosting a special event with complimentary drinks and a 25% discount on all full-price items. The launch offer will end on Monday 1 June.

Charlie English, Marketing Director at Woods Furniture, previously commented: “We’re excited to be opening at Castlepoint and seeing shoppers explore our fantastic range of furniture in styles to suit any home.

“Woods Furniture was established in 1875 in the heart of Dorset and our Dorchester home has allowed the local customer base to enjoy well priced, quality furniture and top-notch customer service for over 150 years.

“Fully independent and family owned, we have long been inspiring homes in the area but are now branching out to Castlepoint. This prime location in East Dorset will provide both current and new shoppers easier access for those looking for new, quality additions to their homes.”
