Festival performances/workshops/screenings take place around various venues in Valletta and Floriana and are clearly marked on a map in the Festival programme. Season performances take place at Spazju Kreattiv, St James Cavalier, Castille Place, Valletta.

There are three separate entrances to Spazju Kreattiv which you can use:

• Castille Place (Main Staircase): This is the ideal entrance to use if you are watching a performance in the Theatre or a screening at the Cinema.
• Castille Place (Side Door):This is the ideal entrance to use if you are watching a performance in Studio A.
• Parliament Entrance: This entrance is accessible either via the Parliament Staircase (near City Gate) or by walking round St James Cavalier from Castille Place. It is the ideal entrance to use if you are coming in with a wheelchair or pushchair.

Driving to and finding parking in Valletta may sound like a headache at first, but there’s actually plenty of options available! We do strongly suggest thinking ahead of time (just in case!) and planning for a small stroll around the capital city before coming in to watch a performance.

Please use the switch at the top of the map to browse the parking and public transport options.

Public Transport
If you’d like to avoid looking/paying for parking and if you’d like to take a more eco-friendly journey to get to us, practically any town/village will offer direct bus service to and from Valletta. More details on routes and timetables can be found here.

You may also wish to make use of the ferry service (which most kids will also love!) from the Three Cities or Sliema. If you’re using the Three Cities Ferry, you can then take the panoramic lift up to the Barrakka Gardens and just cross the street to our building in Castille Place. In the case of the Sliema Ferry, this will stop you in Marsamxett, so there’s a slightly longer walk up to the heart of the city. For schedules, fares and routes, click here.

Floriana Park & Ride
The Floriana Park & Ride Facility has over 750 parking spaces, including of course a free shuttle service (operating every 5 - 10 minutes depending on the time of day) that takes you straight to the heart of Valletta. And all of this for only €0.40c per day! For extra comfort (or in case of rain), ask the personnel on site to indicate which shuttle can stop you at Castille Place.

The facility is open Mondays to Sundays (including Public Holidays) from 6am to 9pm, and you can find more detailed information and a very handy map detailing all the stops on the shuttle's route online.

Please contact box office at +356 21 223 200 ahead of your visit, so as to ensure we can make your visit as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Most seating is on a first come first served basis (with the exception of large capacity shows during the Festival, and performances at the Spazju Kreattiv Theatre - which are ticketed). Doors open approximately 10 minutes prior to most performances (and 15 minutes prior for the Theatre). We advise audiences to arrive early so as to enjoy the full experience, and we also suggest that young people sit towards the front to have a better view.

You can find all the ticket options on each event page, including Series and Combo discounts. You may pay with debit / credit card.

If you’re having trouble booking/printing your tickets, please contact Box Office at +356 21 223 200.

Yes, you can purchase tickets at our box office which is located at Spazju Kreattiv, St James Cavalier, Castille Place, Valletta. Since there are a limited number of tickets for each performance, we suggest you purchase tickets well in advance to avoid disappointment.

If your group is made up of 10 persons or more, please e-mail [email protected] for details on our discounted event packages.

We strongly advise for age recommendations to be used as guidelines. We understand that this may be difficult for families with children of various ages, and therefore if you believe that the content will be appreciated by a younger child, you are welcome to book a ticket. Should a child disrupt a performance, they may be asked to leave the space with their parent/guardian until they settle. If the term ‘strictly’ is used, the performance is not suitable for children of a younger age.

In the case of babies and toddlers, there are suitable performances/screenings for this age group which are specifically created to be enjoyed by the very young. A ticket for toddler screenings costs €4 and covers a toddler with maximum of two accompanying adults.

No latecomers will be allowed inside the performance space and no refunds will be given (unless a performance is cancelled). We strongly suggest that you plan ahead so as to enjoy the full ŻiguŻajg experience!

We’re going through some exciting changes here at Spazju Kreattiv, and a new catering concept is set to launch later this year, providing a variety of family options for you to enjoy! Until then, our cafeteria/restaurant, Inspirations!,  is open for limited hours daily, between 09:30 and 16:00 between Monday to Friday.

We have baby changing facilities in our toilets at ground level (right next to Studio A). Our toilets on the upper level (near the Theatre and Cinema) are currently undergoing renovation and will include baby changing facilities as well.

Our Customer Experience Assistants will show you to a space where you can park these, but please note that these are not the responsibility of our staff. If access for a wheelchair in the performance space is absolutely necessary, kindly contact Box Office in advance at +356 21 223 200.

This is indeed an exciting and magical moment which your child will carry with them as they grow older! We want your child to feel comfortable and don’t mind if they are vocal or energetic - our performers will guide audiences if silent moments are needed and encourage them to laugh, respond, clap and cheer! The three things we ask of our audiences in the performance space are - no photos, no phones and no food/beverages.

Food and beverages can be very distracting to live performers and other audience members. We therefore ask audiences not to bring these items into the performance space.

We encourage you to make the most of every bit of the performance, and therefore ask you to refrain from taking photos or videos during the event itself (also because this can be very distracting to live performers and other audience members). You’re welcome to mark this special moment before or after a performance, and if you wish to upload to social media, you can also tag our pages or add the hashtag #ŻiguŻajg.
