[4] The annual Pancake Race takes place to raise money for good causes each year.

On 31 August 2022, it was reported by the Bournemouth Daily Echo that 50% of the shopping centre had been sold by shareholders.

[13] Following repair work, the car parking spaces and stores in the main centre were re-opened to the public in a phased manner between 20 December 2005 and 13 February 2006.

[14][15][16][17][18][19] Although the car park was made safe with the insertion of props and the stores in the centre re-opened (and remain so), the longer-term solution for rebuilding the carpark is still to be resolved.

[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] In December 2014 the centre was given permission by the local council to rebuild the car parks in a phased manned over the next three years, due to be completed by Christmas 2018.

Since opening in 2003, several stores have ceased trading at the centre such as Principles,[32] Virgin Megastore, Suits Direct, All Sports, Barratts, Choices Video, GAP, Hargreaves, Robert Dyas, Carphone Warehouse, The Link and Lunn Poly (later Thomson).

Castlepoint has a wide range of retailers including Sainsburys, TKMaxx, CeX, H&M, WHSmith, ASDA, B&Q, Clarks, Waterstones, Superdrug, Marks and Spencer, Foot Locker, Accessorize, River Island, Mountain Warehouse, JD Sports, New Look, Boots, The Entertainer, Mango and Easy Bathrooms.
