Recreate famous scenes when the Friends Experience launches an hour from Nottingham

Fans of the iconic TV series Friends will be able to step onto the screen of their favourite series when a ew attraction opens in Birmingham this summer. The Friends Experience will make its UK debut at the NEC in Birmingham, with nostalgia-packed interactive sets including Monica’s kitchen and the renowned Friends' fountain.

Visitors can explore the show’s history and recreate their favourite scenes, such as relaxing in Chandler and Joey’s recliners or helping Ross with the infamous sofa pivot. Fans can sip on coffee from the Central Perk coffee stand and a store of exclusive merchandise awaits, offering a selection of unique mementos to remember the day.

The Friends Experience will make its UK debut on Saturday July 8 following a successful run in Paris and Brussels, which attracted 150,000 visitors. Tickets will go on sale on Wednesday May 17.
