Do we need to sign up in advance or can we just show up?

Sign up first: the center's rules say every activity needs a reservation, and places are limited. This show is not on the online booking portal, so register in person at Centre Cívic Navas reception (Carrer de Las Navas de Tolosa 312). Registration opened on September 3. If you are not sure there is space, call 933 49 35 22.

What time does the show start?

The civic center's event page and program calendar list the party from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, but the show description in the same program and the city agenda say 5pm. Aim to be in Plaça Ferran Reyes by 5pm so you don't miss the start, or call the center on 933 49 35 22 when you register to confirm.

Does every family member need a place?

Yes. For family shows, the center's booking rules say every adult and every child needs their own reservation, and one person can make up to two.

How do we get to the square from the metro?

Head for Plaça Ferran Reyes, not the civic center building. Navas station on L1 is about a three-minute walk, and Camp de l'Arpa on L5 is about six minutes.

Will the chestnuts run out?

The hot chocolate and roasted chestnuts are free while supplies last, so turn up near the start rather than at the end if that is a big part of the draw for your kids.

About

A two-actor mystery play for kids 6 to 12, staged outdoors in Plaça Ferran Reyes for the Navas neighborhood's Castanyada party. One rainy night, two young detectives spot something moving in a garden tree, and the audience helps them work out what it is. It's a small local party in Sant Andreu, not a big city event. It's free, but places are limited, so sign up at the civic center before you go.
