Morecambe Investment Tour with Lancaster City Council

Join Place North and Lancaster City Council for an exciting investment tour of Morecambe where you can learn all about upcoming opportunities to invest in the leisure and hospitality sector.

Lancaster City Council wishes to appoint a preferred developer partner to deliver its regeneration ambitions for a former funfair site on Morecambe’s seafront. 

The council wants bids from commercial leisure, hospitality and mixed-use developers or consortia (with identified lead organisation) to promote and develop a comprehensive leisure and hospitality-led development that will help capitalise on Eden Project Morecambe and the estimated 3,700 peak daily visitors.

There is an opportunity to broaden Morecambe’s offer, help attract new visitors and convert day trippers into overnight stays. However, the focus is not just on visitors, the redevelopment of the site must also benefit residents, particularly the leisure offer.

The successful regeneration of the former Frontierland site is critical to enhancing Morecambe’s visitor economy, boosting the local economy and delivering placemaking for central Morecambe. The timing of the procurement provides bidders with the opportunity to realise completion of either the whole or phases of the development to coincide with the opening of Eden Project Morecambe.
