Cornwall's the Eden Project is exploring an expansion into the north at the site of the Dome entertainment centre in Morecambe, Lancashire.
The Eden Project is currently conducting feasibility studies and exploring the viability of opening a £60m 'world-class Eden experience'. The project has already received the backing of Lancaster City Council, Lancaster County Council, Lancaster University, local MPs and government ministers.
The Eden Project of the north site would be set on the former Dome entertainment venue and Bubbles swimming pool area on Morecambe seafront. The Dome was demolished in 2011 while the Bubbles complex closed in 2001.
The original Eden Project in Cornwall cost £141m to build and opened in 2001. It was funded through National Lottery and EU grants as well as money from the Southwest Regional Development Agency and £20m in commercial loans.
The Eden Project is also looking into international expansion with three projects in development in China as well as others in New Zealand, Australia, Dubai, North America and Ireland.
