Somerset House is ringing in 2025 with a bang. The Palladian masterpiece has partnered with queer pan-Asian performance collective The Bitten Peach for a new year celebration that will run all the way until 2am. As well as stonking views of London’s world-famous fireworks display from Somerset House’s Terrace, there’ll be after-dark ice skating in the building’s spectacular courtyard, DJ sets curated by NiNE8 Collective, a Whispering Angel lounge where you’ll find limited edition cocktails made with the wine of the moment which you can soak up with piping hot fondue served at The Chalet by Jimmy Garcia. On top of all that, the main event of the night (aside from the countdown to midnight) will be a feast of performances covering cabaret, burlesque and drag from The Bitten Peach, which will feature everything from fire breathing to belly dancing. It’s going to be one hell of a way to start the new year.
