Eden Project Morecambe, UK

Eden Project Morecambe is being delivered by the team behind the first Eden Project in Cornwall, alongside local partners Lancaster University, Lancaster City Council and Lancashire County Council.

It was awarded £50m UK Government investment which has allowed the project to move into its next phase including the announcement of the external design team led by world-class WSP, and award-winning architectural firm Grimshaw who led the design for our original Eden Project in Cornwall.

An Eden by the Bay

Inspired by the natural geometries, beauty and efficiency of seashells, the architecture of Eden Project Morecambe will be instantly recogniseable and will be an emblem of sustainability with a deep connection to place, respecting and complimenting the highly valued heritage landmarks nearby.

Newly released spectacular imagery showcases the unique shell-inspired structure surrounded by inter-connecting gardens overlooking the natural beauty of Morecambe Bay.

Eden Project Morecambe's structure will house extraordinary living landscapes and immersive worlds inhabited by world-class art, performance, storytelling, interactive installations and play.  With Morecambe Bay's tidal range being one of the largest in the world, the natural rhythms of nature underpin all aspects of Eden Project Morecambe.

The experience

Eden Project Morecambe will bring together:

• The Realm of the Sun: a bright, tropical landscape of the near future where humans have discovered how to heal and re-engage with the broken rhythms of the natural world around them. Here, visitors will be encouraged to engage and reflect through interactive exhibits, living structures, storytelling and workshops.
• Defining the space will be The Elder Tree, designed to be a show-stopping 20 metre theatrical sculpture. The Elder Tree acts as a keeper of memories of rhythms past, ready to be discovered by visitors as they move from the tree's roots up to the hollows of its upper trunk.
• The Realm of the Moon: an exciting, dark space featuring a hyper-real rock pool where accelerated cycles of tides, days and seasons drive an ever-changing immersive world filled with storytelling, spectacle and discovery.

Morecambe’s motto during its tourism heyday was ‘Beauty Surrounds and Health Abounds’. The project has far-reaching environmental, social and economic ambitions, but above all it will be a day out that inspires a sense of wonder and connection with the natural world.
