Festive Events
Complemented by our seasonal programme, Somerset House is a much sought-after venue for festive celebrations and we offer a wide range of options across our spaces to suit occasions of any scale.
For 2026, we are delighted to partner with KERB Events and Velvet Living to deliver an exclusive festive reception experience in our Embankment Galleries for the very first time - combining exceptional food, inspired styling and a vibrant seasonal atmosphere.
The Embankment Galleries offer a striking contemporary backdrop for unforgettable festive celebrations. Located across the lower ground floor and mezzanine of the South Wing, this dynamic space blends dramatic steel-and-glass staircases, elegant hardstone flooring and bold feature walls to create a truly versatile blank canvas, that can be transformed effortlessly to bring your festive vision to life.
“It was truly a success – I have never seen our office crowd look so jolly. The food was fantastic and the planning process was made stress free with your help.”
