Plans to create a new Eden Project with domes inspired by silvery mussel shells have been revealed.

The new attraction at Eden Project North would be built by the beach at Morecambe, in Lancashire.

Eden is working with Grimshaw Architects, the same firm who designed its world-famous Mediterranean and Tropical Biomes in Cornwall, on the project.

Central to the vision is a series of pavilions inspired by mussels. Eden Project North would combine indoor and outdoor experiences, and could feature lidos, gardens, performance spaces, immersive experiences and observatories.

Dave Harland, chief executive of Eden Project International Limited, said: ‘We’re incredibly proud to present our vision for Eden Project North and hope that the people of Morecambe and the surrounding area are as excited about it as we are.

‘We aim to reimagine what a seaside destination can offer, with a world-class tourist attraction that is completely in tune with its natural surroundings.’

The Eden Project charity is now seeking funding to make the plan a reality.
