Turbo-charge your summer as we welcome visitors back to Somerset House with a thrilling new open-air experience in our spectacular courtyard. Featuring dodgems with a difference, bold installations from acclaimed artists and a delicious selection of food and drinks, Dodge is the perfect setting to celebrate quality time with family and friends once more.
Regarded as one of London’s best loved spaces, our courtyard has been reimagined by Yinka Ilori, one of the most in demand figures working in design, and transformed into a joyful spectacle of colour, sound and energy. You’ll ride dodgems as you’ve never experienced them before, helping to generate an interactive musical composition by award winning Somerset House Studios artist Anna Meredith, who has teamed up with fellow Studios resident and Bafta-winning sound artist Nick Ryan. Meet up with friends and family in Yinka’s vibrant new open-air art installation, take time out with mouth-watering food and drinks from pop-up legend Jimmy Garcia, or join us for Dodge Lates and Bump & Brunch for amazing DJs on selected dates.
The Somerset House courtyard is open and free to visit and walk-up visitors will be able to enjoy the Dodge experience, subject to availability. However, we encourage you to pre-book your table to avoid disappointment. All advance bookings include a dodgems ride and a drink.
