FriendsFest is returning to the UK to celebrate the show's 25th anniversary

If you’ve always dreamed of hanging out in Monica’s apartment, enjoying a coffee from Central Perk, and pivotting your way around a staircase with a couch, you’re in luck.

Comedy Central’s FriendsFest is returning to the UK this summer to celebrate Friends' 25th anniversary.

Events will take place between July and September across the UK in London, Bristol, Manchester and Milton Keynes.

Fans of the show will have the chance to walk through the series’ most famous sets including Ross’ apartment, the hallway between Monica and Joey’s apartment, as well as Central Perk.

There will also be the opportunity to feast from Friends-themed food stalls (think Mockolate and the Joey Special), order drinks from a cocktail bar, and take part in a FriendsFest quiz.

Photo opportunities include recreating the Thanksgiving floating heads scene and the show’s title sequence with umbrellas.  

The exhibition starts in Manchester’s Heaton Park on 2 August through to 18 August.

It will then travel to Bristol’s Castle Estate (23 August – 1 September), Milton Keynes’s Willen Lake (6 – 15 September) and end in London’s Kennington Park (20 – 29 September).

Tickets will be available to purchase from 15 March from See Tickets, with standard tickets priced at £27.50.
