The Flowerbowl

The Flower Bowl Entertainment Centre was awarded the New Tourism Business prize at the Lancashire Tourism Awards - an award recognises The Flower Bowl as a high performing new business with a great understanding of the marketplace and further opportunities for development.

The unusual living rooftop feature has been part of The Flower Bowl plan at the outset, with the ultimate goal to enable sheep to graze there. The roof had been designed with the sheep in mind, however, the logistics of making a roof ‘sheep-safe’ are extremely complex.

The 4,200m2 specialist roof is one of a kind and was created with 700 tonnes of topsoil and grass, with all the perimeters all held back with the EdgeGuard living roof retaining system.
