An event where residents will hear about progress on the Eden Project Morecambe will be held at the town's football club.

The next 'Community Conversation' on Eden will take place on Monday June 9 from 6pm to 7.30pm at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium.

Attendees will hear from project partners, can ask questions and share thoughts on the plans.

These regular Community Conversations have been held for several years, with a mixture of both online and in-person events.

The new project director of Eden Project Morecambe, John Pye, is expected to appear at the June 9 event.

Mr Pye (below) was appointed to the role in March, and at the time Eden bosses said he would be starting in the position just before the Community Conversation and would be introduced to members of the public at the event.

Also in March, it was announced that top firms WSP and Grimshaw will form the external design team for the Eden Project Morecambe.

The Eden Project Morecambe will be built on the former site of the Bubbles and Dome leisure complex with the Winter Gardens theatre and Midland Hotel its near neighbours.

The new attraction will aim to connect people to the natural world, celebrating the unique environment of Morecambe Bay.

The project is being delivered in partnership with Lancaster City Council, Lancashire County Council and Lancaster University.

Eden Project Morecambe will cost £100m, £50m of which was secured from the previous UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund.

The remaining £50m will be sourced from private and philanthropic funds, which Eden bosses say is in ‘advanced stages’ of being finalised.

The mixed-use complex will be housed in shell-like domes and will combine indoor and outdoor attractions, themed around Morecambe Bay.

The facility is set to include plants, art and interactive exhibits, a 6,000 capacity concert area for live music events, three cafe/restaurants and a visitor centre. 

Work is expected to start on construction in 2026, ahead of a planned opening in 2028.
