Somerset House x Moving Venue: Summer 2026
Thursday 5 June 2025
Somerset House and Moving Venue announce landmark collaboration for Summer Season 2026. Internationally acclaimed arts destination Somerset House and respected event brand Moving Venue, have joined forces to offer a never-before-seen event experience in June and July 2026.
For a limited season, London’s iconic courtyard, The Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court, will be transformed with elegant, purpose-built structures to create a breathtaking architectural canvas for corporate events, brand activations and summer parties.
With exquisite catering, expert production, and creative freedom at its heart, the collaboration is a rare opportunity to host unforgettable events in one of the city’s most prestigious cultural venues. It offers scalable flexibility across open-air and covered spaces, accommodating up to 1,500 guests (including seated dining for up to 500 and standing receptions for 2,500).
Luci Sorrell, Head of Sales, Commercial Events at Somerset House, comments: “We’re bringing a bold new vision to one of London’s most recognisable spaces and we’re excited to be working with Moving Venue to deliver this. The Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court has been reimagined like never before, offering a rare opportunity to host outdoor events with the assurance of refined cover, premium production and an unforgettable setting.
“Additionally, as a registered charity, Somerset House is proud to offer businesses the opportunity to support our mission of facilitating and increasing access to arts and culture for all, inviting hosts to align their summer events with creativity, culture and meaningful social impact.”
The styling complements the Grade-I listed architecture with understated luxury: olive tree planters, sculptural furniture, and refined bar installations, while remaining highly adaptable to empower brands to layer their own vision, bespoke decoration and curated entertainment. The reimagined outdoor setting makes it easy for event planners to deliver seamless and memorable events.
