Venue
Real Teatro de Aranjuez, Palacio Real de Aranjuez, Iglesia de San Antonio and Casa de Caballeros
Format
Early-music cycle across Patrimonio Nacional venues, academic programme with university partners and parallel family sessions

The Aranjuez Early Music Festival is the early-music reference appointment in central Spain: three weeks between September and October that programme medieval, Renaissance and baroque music across unique Patrimonio Nacional venues —the Real Teatro de Aranjuez, the Iglesia de San Antonio, the Palacio Real, the Casa de Caballeros—, alongside an academic programme in collaboration with universities, parallel family sessions and a pedagogical line for conservatoires. The typical edition draws 5,000 attendees and between 600 and 800 international delegates —conductors, soloists, musicologists and music critics— arriving from across Europe.

For producers, ensembles and universities the operational challenge is the Patrimonio Nacional context: merch that respects the solemnity of the Real Teatro and the Palacio, discreet packaging that survives the baroque liturgy of the repertoire, and a professional gifting aimed at the musicologists and music critics who travel following the programming. The typical brief we receive mixes bound hand programmes in classic serigraphy for collectors, embroidered gift sets stamped with the festival's anagram for music-friend associations, press kits for musicologists and critics, and numbered editions of facsimiles or musicological notebooks for the universities contributing to the academic programme.

The Madrid production hub handles the entire order and ships by road (SEUR, Correos Express, DHL) to a named consignee in Aranjuez — producer's office, partner university headquarters, or the festival communication department — with prior appointment given that access to the Real Teatro compound requires coordination with the Patrimonio Nacional heritage unit.

Production and delivery into Aranjuez

The brand operation at Aranjuez Early Music Festival is coordinated from the Madrid production hub: delivery into Aranjuez runs within a 24–48 hour window from confirmation, by road to a named consignee — producer's office, partner university headquarters, or the festival communication department. The Real Teatro and the Palacio Real are managed by Patrimonio Nacional, so loading is planned with prior appointment in coordination with the heritage unit and the venue security team.

We keep reserved stock at the Madrid hub for the recurring items — hand programmes, tote bags and lanyards with generic edition serigraphy — which we can produce and deliver in 5–8 working days. For pieces with custom embroidery (festival anagram, limited-edition number) the window moves to 10–12 working days. For universities with musicological pieces (numbered facsimiles, academic notebooks) we suggest locking the brief 5–6 weeks before the opening.

The B2B invoice is issued in EUR with 21% VAT added via FACe / SII (AEAT); for intra-EU clients with a valid VIES number, reverse-charge applies without Spanish VAT; for UK and non-EU clients the invoice is issued without Spanish VAT citing the relevant EU directive article. Every delivery is confirmed with a signed delivery note at destination and, on request, a photo of the material at the Real Teatro foyer.

Recommended planning timeline

  1. 6–8 weeks before: lock the item list, per-recipient quantities and the decoration method per line.
  2. 4–5 weeks before: approve a physical or production-grade sample from the Madrid hub and validate the festival anagram.
  3. 2–3 weeks before: close production, run quality control and apply bilingual labelling.
  4. Opening week: confirm delivery window, named consignee and contact at the Real Teatro.
