Friends Fest is back - here are the dates for London, Manchester, Bristol and Milton Keynes and how |
Emily Schmidt FRIENDS Fest is making its return this summer, almost 25 years since the first episode ever aired.
But how do you get tickets? We've got all the info here.
What is Friends Fest?
It's self-proclaimed to be the "ultimate celebration of the world's favourite TV show" - which pretty much sums it up.
Based in four locations across Britain - London, Bristol, Manchester and Milton Keynes - the event gives hardcore Friends fans the opportunity to live as one of the gang for a day.
It allows you to walk around the most iconic sets, like Monica's apartment and the Central Perk coffee shop, and get some great snaps in the process.
Whether it be lounging around on the Central Perk couch, or recreating the Thanksgiving floating heads scene by peeping around Monica's apartment door, there's plenty of opportunities for fans to get involved.
There's even a chance for you to yell 'PIVOT' in the stairwell with a giant mattress... should you wish to recreate the iconic exchange between Rachel, Ross and Chandler.
Naturally, guests will be given the opportunity to recreate the title scenes' most notable moments, complete with umbrellas, a fake fountain and a whole lot of dancing.
And if that's not enough to convince you to go - you can even drink at a Friends-themed bar while taking part in a quiz on the show.
When is it returning to the UK?
The fan-favourite festival will be returning on August 2, kicking off its run in Manchester.
Yes, that's right you can be sipping coffee at the iconic Central Perk coffeehouse between August and September.
Londoners will get the chance to enjoy the FriendsFest between September 20-29 in Kennington Park.
But the good news is it will also be popping up in Milton Keynes and Bristol too.
