The Edmond J. Safra
Fountain Court

We are pleased to confirm that we have commenced a phased reopening of Somerset House, following the fire on 17 August.

The fountains in the Edmond J. Safra Court are currently switched on.


Summer in the Courtyard is a series of free and affordable events and activities running throughout the summer holidays with community and family at its heart.

The Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court sits at the heart of Somerset House and is one of the capital’s most beautiful and inclusive public spaces. For the month of August, the courtyard offers an unparalleled location to relax and soak up the sunshine away from the bustle of the city.

On weekdays, we're welcoming everyone to the courtyard, providing a space for families to enjoy the sunshine alongside workshops and our magnificent fountains.

Then at weekends, we’re excited to present a series of live events and performances from established creatives and grassroot communities with inclusivity at their heart alongside food & drink pop-ups.
