What October holds
It opens with the 20th Festival Internacional Clownbaret, with La Granja as one venue: the documentary “Zapatos Nuevos” on 2 October at 20:00, then Wilbur at 18:00 and Paul Morocco with “Dúo Olé” at 19:00 on 3 October, both outdoors beside the park. Peter Shub brings “Stand Up and Fall Down” on 4 October at 19:00 and teaches his workshop “Make Them Laugh” from 5 to 7 October in three four-hour sessions, starting, per the programme page, on 5 October at 17:00. Then come Compañía Pieles with “Arahal” on 9 October at 20:00, Ensemble Sonido Extremo on 10 October at 19:30, “Negro Luz” by Raquel Klein on 16 October at 20:00, “La rebelión de las parias” by laGodot esCénica on 24 October at 20:00 and the premiere of “Yo, Frankenstein” on 31 October at 20:00.
Why 197 seats decide everything
The venue belongs to the Instituto Canario de Desarrollo Cultural, the regional government's culture agency. The hall is modular: 197 seats in the standard stalls, 257 in a larger arrangement, 307 with the audience on stage, 130 or 66 for intimate formats. For comparison: for the baby theatre piece “Flores” on 23 October the venue releases 25 family units per session. At that scale an evening fills quickly without many people having had to act. We found no attendance or occupancy figures for La Granja published by the institute.
What admission costs — and what costs nothing
Eleven of the 23 dates are free, on two different terms. For the Filmoteca Canaria film cycles the page says “Entrada libre previa retirada de invitación en web o en taquilla”: free entry, but with an invitation collected beforehand online or at the box office — so on 1, 8, 15 and 22 October, and on 5, 12 and 19 November and 3 December. On 2, 3 and 21 October it is “Entrada libre hasta completar aforo”, with no invitation while there is room. Otherwise it costs 5 to 12 euros. For concerts from the Festival Internacional de Música de Canarias family, the festival's ticket page says a share of capacity is reserved for 3-euro tickets: for unemployed people, 12- to 25-year-olds, over-65s, students and large families, with proof required at purchase and at the door. “La Pequeña Escena” for 5- to 10-year-olds costs 3.00 euros and requires a ticket for the adult performance.
How to get a ticket
The event pages lead to the shop entradas.espaciolagranja.es; the “Información práctica” page still links the older shop lagranja.janto.es. The box office on site opens on performance days only, one hour before the start. No on-sale date, no waiting list and no rule for returned tickets appears on any page we could open: not the programme, not “Información práctica”, not the “Normas Generales”, and not the empty Noticias section. The “Normas Generales” govern admission only, not sales.
Where the same names play elsewhere
Peter Shub performs “Stand Up and Fall Down” again on 8 October at 20:30 at the Teatro Cine Los Realejos. Paul Morocco takes “Dúo Olé” to Plaza Salytien in Costa Adeje on 2 October at 19:00, to Plaza del Príncipe in Santa Cruz on 9 October at 21:30 and to the Auditorio Capitol in Tacoronte on 10 October at 20:30. On 3 October at 20:30 the Cabaret FIC XX años at the Teatro Leal in La Laguna gathers five of the festival's clowns; on Plaza del Príncipe the city counts 16 performances from 9 to 11 October. For the Festival Contemporáneo, Laura Farré Rozada plays the Auditorio de Antigua on Fuerteventura on 4 October, Lanzarote on the 5th and La Palma on the 6th. January showed that travelling helps: when Pieles took “Arahal” to six islands, a Canary government release of 14 January 2026 said only Tenerife was sold out — “quedan butacas disponibles en el resto de los escenarios”, at a single price of 15 euros.
