There are also a range of hampers and dining packages that can be pre-booked via the Somerset House website.

You're welcome to bring your own food and drink, but no glass (including jars), crockery or sharp knives are allowed into the courtyard. Customers are welcome to bring alcohol onto the site, but we reserve the right to use our discretion, and may confiscate anything deemed excessive. If you bring a glass bottle in, we will ask you to decant into plastic on arrival.

Where a film is uncertificated, entry is to over 18s only.

Weather

The screenings are open air. The audience area is not covered. The screenings will go ahead whatever the weather — come rain or come shine. Please do come prepared as no wet weather provisions will be provided.
