Part of the larger #FortnumsChristmas calendar, Fortnum & Mason recently announced they will be hosting a weekly event called Treat Tuesdays at their Christmas Arcade pop-up at the Somerset House ice rink. The department store brand is the official sponsor of this year's Skate at Somerset House.
The Lodge pop-up is designed like a European Alps ski lodge and features an area for skaters to enjoy a snack and hot beverage after their turn on the ice. The Fortnum & Mason Treat Tuesday events will feature educational workshops and demos from the likes of confectioner Artisan du Chocolat and vintage card curators Pearl and Black.
In addition to the food and beverage workshops, the Christmas Lodge offers a menu that includes a shareable fondue dish, a pulled pork and chilli hot dog called the Lodge Dog and small snacks. The pop-up's Botanical Bar opens in the evening and serves cocktails such as the Lodge Martini and Alpine Fizz.
