New Years Eve Party

It's late notice but we're not satisified with the party options for New Years Eve this year, so we're doing one of our own. For those of you who have been to the last two years at Play Cantarrijan you'll know how much fun they have been.

Address of the party:
La Barraca Chiringuito, Playa Cantarrijan, La Herradura, Costa del Sol.

Directions from Almuñecar:

1. Follow N340, E15 out of Almunecar, heading towards Nerja, Malaga
2. Continue for 4 k.m and pass through tunnel (Punta de la Mona) and keep following N340

Wow what a storming festival! The culmination of months of work by the crew it was the best Rocket ever by far. There were a thousand more people on site than ever before with a fabulous array of acts and sideshows to enjoy. We're taking a bit of a break but watch out for pictures from the festival and news about Rocket 2009 soon.

Teatro de la Libertad

Circus at the Rocket is going from strength to strength. This year Invisible Circus and InterStella are programming the outdoor stage and the cabaret tent with a huge variety of acts from the UK, Spain and the rest of Europe. The Rocket is proud to present and support the traditional circus and performing arts in and their modern interpretations. In an increasingly electronic world, face to face communication between performers and their audience is a poignant moment of contact not available from the web or a playstation.

We'll have more details of the acts and performers in the circus area on this website soon. Come back and have a look.
