The set to be built on Morecambe Bay has revealed its centrepiece called ‘The Elder Tree’.
It has been described as “one of the most significant elements” of the attraction.
It’s being built at the cost of £4.5million, which was donated from a lottery.
The 65 foot tree will guide visitors on a journey from its roots to the trunk hollows in a one-of-a-kind immersive experience.
It is set to show people how to “reconnect” with and “restore nature”.
The in Morecambe will be the newest of its kind in 25 years with the only other attraction being in .
Inside the new attraction will be two very different experiences called The Realm of the Sun and The Realm of the Moon.
The Realm of the Sun has been described as “a bright, lush landscape of the near future — a place where humanity has rediscovered how to repair and re-engage with the broken rhythms of the natural world”.
The Realm of the Moon is as an immersive but “darker” space with a hyper-real rockpool which will have sped-up cycles of tides.
Also inside the domes will be 1.5 acres of landscaped gardens, which will open earlier than the other exhibits in 2027.

Other details that have been previously mentioned include hanging , mini gardens, a multi-sensory area, a and a ‘Town Square’.
Between the two realms, there is expected to be an area called Metronome, where visitors will buy their entry tickets.
There will be a 750-capacity Tidal a 300-capacity restaurant and a shop at the attraction as well.
Once open, Eden Project Morecambe is expected to bring in around £80million to the local area.
Andy Jasper, Eden Project CEO, said: “The funding has specifically secured The Elder Tree – which will sit at the heart of the experience for visitors.
“More than a striking landmark, it will help tell the story of our changing relationship with the natural world and inspire people to imagine what an incredibly positive future could look like.”
