The Eden Project in Morecambe
Kirkby Lonsdale Gardening Association are delighted to welcome Stacey Fox and Dewey Lord of the Eden Project Morecambe project team, who will share the story behind one of the most ambitious developments the North West has seen in a generation.
The £100m project is being delivered in partnership with Lancaster City Council, Lancashire County Council and Lancaster University, with government backing. Planning approval for its evolved design was granted in February 2026, and VINCI Building has since come on board as main contractor, with opening planned for late 2028. Unlike the original in Cornwall, the Morecambe site will feature two shell-inspired structures overlooking the Bay, and the award-winning Bring Me Sunshine Garden, co-created with young people from Morecambe and first shown at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026, will form a gateway to the site. Eden’s growth journey begins to flower +4
Come along to hear how the project is progressing, what it will mean for the wider area, including towns like ours, and to put your questions to the team.
