Skate at Somerset House, one of the UK’s most beloved winter traditions, returns this November. As Somerset House’s iconic neoclassical courtyard is transformed into a glistening fairytale scene, Skate ushers in the festive season with unrivalled skating, contemporary music and tasty food and drink.

From skating lessons with Skate School and Chilled Out sessions, onwards to trailblazing DJs on the rink-side decks, there’s something for everyone.

You can also expect…

  • Exclusive evenings hosted by Virgin Atlantic Holidays – complete with signature special touches and the chance to win exclusive prizes
  • Pop-up restaurants and bars – gourmet dining at The Chalet and festive cheer with rink-side views at Skate Lounge by Whispering Angel
  • Skate Lates with Rock Angel – DJ takeovers of rink-side decks to party into the evening
  • Festive shopping from Shelter Boutique brought to you by HSBC UK – a special pop-up store at Skate featuring a handpicked selection of pre-loved clothing, homewares and gifts

Spectators are welcomed at the ice rink free of charge and can watch from the viewing platform or from the warmth of the Skate Lounge by Whispering Angel, which has a fantastic rink-side view.
