Commercial Team

Somerset House, the Home of Cultural Innovators, is an iconic neo-classical venue overlooking the Thames, boasting 500,000 sq. ft. of versatile event spaces for 30 to 3,000 guests, alongside an outstanding cultural programme.

Our architectural gem includes natural light-filled rooms with uninterrupted riverside views, a grand courtyard, and hidden underground tunnels, ideal for diverse events such as brand activations, Christmas and summer parties, filming, commercial public exhibitions, fashion events, weddings, and conferences. This variety of spaces allows us to accommodate almost any event brief, making us a truly versatile venue. Once home to Elizabeth I, and with a long history of influence, ideas and counter-perspective, today Somerset House attracts 2.9 million visitors annually and we are open to everyone, regardless of age, stage or background. Somerset House is an independent charity, connecting the arts with wider society. Profits from revenue driven by event hire directly contribute to our diverse cultural programme and support our onsite creative community, including the Young Talent Fund and Black Business Residencies. Our commitment to meeting the varied needs of planners and experience creators is unwavering. Our partnership with esteemed suppliers allows us to integrate modern amenities and cutting-edge technology alongside Somerset House’s Grade I listed heritage, ensuring a harmonious blend that honours the past while embracing the future. These relationships, paired with our broad range of event spaces, allows clients to return time and again, as no two events are ever the same.
