Businesses wanting to team up with Eden Project Morecambe invited to drop-in event

John Pye, project director of Eden Project Morecambe

Local businesses interested in joining forces with the Eden Project while they build and open their new visitor attraction on the Prom have been invited to get on board.

A drop-in session will be held at The Platform on Wednesday March 18 from 3pm to 7pm.

The event will bring together local networks, businesses and community organisations to explore opportunities to work alongside Eden Project Morecambe.

There will be the opportunity to express an interest in supplying goods and services during the build and construction phase, as well as joining the future supply chain once Eden Project Morecambe opens.

If your business would like to find out more or attend, you can email morecambe@edenproject.com

The event will be run by the Eden Project charity in partnership with Lancaster City Council.

Construction is due to start on the £100m Eden Project Morecambe later this year, with a scheduled opening date of late 2028.

The central Morecambe Promenade land was previously occupied by The Dome entertainment venue and the Bubbles leisure centre, and prior to that the Morecambe Leisure Park outdoor swimming pool and the Super Swimming Stadium.

The project has been described as "the greatest show of nature’s rhythms, where time is sped up, slowed down or paused - revealing the wonder, rhythms and threats to the health and well-being of people, Morecambe Bay, and planet".

As well as exhibitions themed on the natural world and Morecambe Bay, housed inside a 'Realm of the Sun' and a 'Realm of the Moon', the attraction will include public gardens, a 6000-capacity concert venue and a restaurant.

The first part of the scheme, 1.5 acres of community gardens, are set to open in early 2027.
