2024 September Big Breakfast - Eden Project

Cornwall Chamber of Commerce would like to invite you to The Eden Project for our BIG breakfast event!

The Eden Project is a world-renowned environmental attraction located in Cornwall, UK. It's an innovative complex nestled within a former clay pit, featuring giant biomes that house a stunning variety of plants from around the globe. These biomes simulate different climates, from tropical rainforests to Mediterranean landscapes. Beyond its botanical wonders, the Eden Project is a hub for education, research, and sustainability initiatives, inspiring visitors to connect with nature and understand the importance of environmental conservation.
