Space NK is set to open a store at Castlepoint in Bournemouth, taking 2,425 sq ft of trading space at the South Coast shopping park.
Founded in 1990, Space NK has been expanding its UK store estate in response to growing demand for premium beauty, with a store at Silverburn in Glasgow among its recent signings, alongside a substantial online following. The new store will stock make-up and skincare brands including Diptyque and NARS, as well as brands exclusive to Space NK such as Cécred and Touchland, adding to the existing beauty line-up at Castlepoint.
“Bournemouth is an important market for Space NK, and we’re delighted to be investing in our future here. Our move to Castlepoint represents an exciting opportunity to elevate the beauty shopping experience, bringing customers a larger, more inspiring space to discover the brands they love, explore new favourites and connect with our expert Beauty teams. We look forward to welcoming both loyal and new customers into a store designed to make beauty discovery even more exciting, personal and accessible.”

The letting follows the recent announcement that Woods Furniture will join Castlepoint as the shopping park’s first dedicated furniture brand. Castlepoint is owned by a joint venture between Columbia Threadneedle Investments and Delancey, which has previously signed Rituals and ProCook at the scheme as part of an asset management strategy focused on bringing in big-name brands.
“It’s fantastic to be welcoming Space NK to the line up at Castlepoint. There has been a significant increase in consumer demand for premium beauty brands, and we’re pleased to be meeting this demand with the arrival of Space NK. This letting is a key part of our proactive asset management strategy which aims to diversify our tenant mix and meet demand from our customers for recognisable, big-name brands”
