It is expected that recruitment events will be held for Eden Project Morecambe but no details have yet been announced.

When applying for planning permission, those behind the development said the Eden Project will create around 390 jobs, with a maximum of 285 on site at any one time.

A large number of additional jobs are expected to be supported in the region, with Eden Project Morecambe providing an economic boost greater than the £50m government investment every year.

Opening of the Eden Project Morecambe is expected at the end of 2026, with test events planned for the site and a soft opening for the local community.

The eco-attraction – which was given planning consent by Lancaster City Council in January 2022 – is expected to transform Morecambe promenade.
