As the home of cultural innovators, Somerset House connects creativity and the arts with wider society. It brings worlds together to intensify creativity and multiply opportunity, driving artistic and social innovation at once.

This spectacular, historic building in the heart of London offers over 12 flexible, blank canvas spaces suitable for staging a breadth of events. From intimate dinners for 50 in our heritage Navy Board Rooms to great receptions for 1,500 in our Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court alongside Somerset House’s outstanding cultural programme and iconic experiences that cannot be created elsewhere.

Today, as host to the UK’s largest creative community working globally across art, technology, business and social enterprise, it continually draws fresh ideas and new talent in. Somerset House invite everyone to ‘Step Inside, Think Outside’, regardless of age, stage or background.

Run as a charity by the Somerset House Trust, all event hire income directly contributes to the diverse cultural programme, pioneering engagement & skills work, support of emerging artists and helps maintain the historic Grade I listed site. You can be confident that your event will directly support an organisation offering immense value to an audience that goes far beyond your attendees.
