Get down to Dodge at Somerset House for top-notch fare, artful dodgems and many, many cocktails. Conceived by one of the world’s most in-demand designers, Yinka Ilori, the immersive courtyard installation is London’s new summer obsession, featuring a bumper car track, Ilori’s outdoor seating booths and a Jimmy Garcia pop-up.
When it comes to food, the Bumper Summer Feast sharer has it all: burrata with English heirloom tomatoes, smoked salmon with crème fraiche and delicious sourdough baguettes from London Bread Factory. From the street food menu, order the chermoula spiced lamb koftas, harissa chicken kebabs or spiced butternut squash falafel wraps. For pudding, there’s a deliciously decadent fudge sundae. Wash it all down with a refreshing beer or glass of fizz from the courtyard bar.
Look online for the range of ticket options. The exclusive weekend Bump & Brunch package, for instance, includes unlimited dodgem rides, a pink grapefruit spritz and a stack of homemade waffles. For those after a night on the town, hit up Dodge Lates, a new series of late-night DJ courtyard takeovers featuring the biggest names in UK music, from Queer House Party to Manara and Anna Meredith.
A joyful spectacle of colour, sound and energy, Dodge is the perfect day out with friends or family. Zoom to it.
