Event
‘Cénate Las Ventas 2026’ experience
Las Ventas will combine evening novilladas and a food market with ‘Cénate Las Ventas’.
About this event
On summer nights, Las Ventas will operate in two formats at the same time: the bullring will host evening novilladas, while a food market featuring products from the Community of Madrid will be set up in the stands.
Every Thursday, until 23 July, Madrid’s bullring will be the setting for ‘Cénate Las Ventas’, a proposal that brings together bullfighting tradition and local gastronomy. While the Certamen de Novilladas Nocturnas is taking place, attendees will also be able to explore a market with products distinguished by the M Producto Certificado seal.
The food area will be located in the upper-stand gallery and on the adjoining terraces. It will open at 20:00, one hour before the novilladas begin, and will remain open until 01:30.
The initiative, organised by Plaza 1 together with several institutions of the Community of Madrid, will accompany the four days of the competition, which will conclude with the grand final on 23 July.
