Eden Project Morecambe to open in 2028
Eden Project Morecambe is now expected to open in 2028 - two years later than originally planned, the government has said. Local Government Minister Alex Norris confirmed all allocated funding for the project would be in place by early 2026, when building work is likely to get under way. The government will contribute £50m, with the same amount expected to come from the private sector and philanthropists. Norris was asked by Shadow Levelling Up, Housing and Communities Secretary Kevin Hollinrake about when the government expected the construction of Eden Project Morecambe to be completed, and when it would start to welcome visitors. In his reply to the Conservative MP, Norris said a memorandum of understanding had been agreed between Lancaster City Council and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government regarding money from the Levelling-Up Fund (LUF). He said the attraction should be opened by October 2028. Eden Project Morecambe, which will be built on the site of the former Bubbles leisure complex, involves a partnership between Lancaster City Council, Lancashire County Council and Lancaster University. Described as a "global garden", it will feature three large shell-shaped pavilions overlooking Morecambe Bay.
