Finally, and exclusively to residential groups, the Eden Project offer 3 exciting evening activities including the secret biome: a unique opportunity to explore the biomes when they are closed to the general public as night time falls – a truly magical experience.

Entrance to the Eden Project needs to be arranged in advance. Either as part of the packages offered by the Eden Educational team or separately as entry only.
It’s not just all about school adventures; YHA Eden Project also makes a great destination for exploring the wider Cornwall area as well as a place to stay if attending any of the incredible events held at the Eden project throughout the year, including the fabulous Eden Sessions.

How to get here
By car and coach:
The Eden Project is situated just outside St Austell and is well sign-posted from the A30 from Exeter and the A391/390 from Plymouth. Follow the M5 south bound to Exeter before taking the A30 and continuing until you reach the Innis Downs junction (A391) and from here the Eden Project will be signposted. During Eden trading hours there are a number of entrances to the site which will be available to use, please report straight to the hostel reception on your arrival. Service Gate Entrance: This 24 hour security gate is fully manned and is the only entry/exit to the site after the normal gates close (generally after 6pm). We will give you the map on your arrival as the gate is on the opposite end of the Eden Project site to the hostel. The postcode PL24 2SZ will take you directly to the service gate and it’s on Bodelva Road, exit for the A390. If you leave site and wish to return to YHA Eden Project out of trading hours, you’ll need find and use the 24 hour gate.
