To make up for the cancellation of their Christmas ice rink, Somerset House is treating us to an incredible art-infused fairground. DODGE: Drink, Dine & Dodgems will also feature immersive art installations by artist and designer Yinka Ilori, outdoor dining experienced by Jimmy Garcia and late-night DJ sessions from Dodge Lates.

There will also be an independent marketplace in the East Wing which will feature local, ethical, and sustainable products. The boutique will offer the opportunity to support artists, Black-owned businesses, and the environment as part of a new mindful shopping experience. Click here to find out featured retailers.
