‘Friends’ fans, buckle up. After travelling through the US and Europe, the Friends Experience has finally arrived in the UK. It made its British debut on Saturday July 8 at Birmingham’s NEC and provides visitors with the chance to live out iconic moments from the beloved series. 

Cue the theme tune. Guests will be able to roam through an interactive set that features the likes of Chandler and Joey’s recliners, the infamous fountain from the opening credits, Central Perk, and Monica and Rachel’s purple front door. Poses at the ready, it’s got photo ops galore. 

You’ll also get to feast your eyes on Ross’s armadillo costume, Phoebe’s keyboard and a revolving head showcasing Jennifer Aniston’s widely imitated Rachel haircut. Birmingham Live gave the experience four out of five stars, calling it a ‘nostalgic treat to see these places where so many dramas have been shared over the years.’

The experience has been brought to the UK by Warner Bros Discovery Global Themed Entertainment – in other words, the same company behind the hugely popular Making of Harry Potter Studio Tour in London

So tell us, could you BE anymore excited? Tickets to The Friends Experience start from £26.50 and you can purchase them right here. It runs from 10am everyday and is at the Birmingham NEC until August 18.
