At Somerset House you will find flexible, blank-canvas spaces suitable for staging a breadth of bespoke events at this historic site in the heart of London. From private dinners and presentations to summer and Christmas parties and more, the versatile suite of spaces offers an unparalleled array of choices and options for your event.

As the home of cultural innovators, Somerset House is a site of origination, with a cultural programme offering alternative perspectives on the biggest issues of our time – working globally across art, creativity, business, and non-profit sectors, nurturing new talent, methods and technologies – they are a place of joy and discovery where everyone is invited to ‘Step Inside and Think Outside.’

This philosophy extends to the hire opportunities. They partner with leading caterers and sustainably minded suppliers to ensure a seamless and individualised offer in spaces that simultaneously showcase and spotlight both Somerset House’s architectural history and central seat in contemporary cultural conversation.

As an independent charity that does not receive any regular public funding, all event hire income directly contributes to their diverse programme, pioneering outreach work, supports emerging artists, and helps maintain a Grade I listed site. You can be confident that your event will directly support an organisation offering immense value to an audience which goes far beyond your attendees.
