Castlegate Shopping Centre is a busy centre located between the High Street and the A3105 ring road. The High Street frontage provides the major pedestrian access into the centre benefiting from being directly adjacent to the town’s bus station and main taxi rank.

It originally opened in 1973 and was subject to a phased refurbishment programme including an extension during the mid to late 1990’s. It has been further improved by the current owner, extending the market hall and fully refurbishing the car park.
