With it only being in London last year I never got chance to go along, so when it was announced that Friends Fest was going on the road my mum got us tickets straight away!
I'm not going to lie, I really wasn't sure what to expect, but I was so pleasantly surprised. Overall, the event was only on a small scale but I think that's what made it so good. Everything was close together so you didn't have to walk for ages in the mud (yes it's outside) and no matter where abouts you were on the site you could always see the big screen which played some of the most loved Friends scenes.
Throughout the day we made our way around, dressing up like we were at the Lincoln High Class of 1988 prom to following in the drunken footsteps on Rachel and Ross to that little chapel in Vegas.
We got chance to recreate those oh so famous titles alongside finally getting to try Moist Maker Sandwich, which I did indeed manage to finish. Not only that, we had our photos taken in Central Perk and went on to pick up a coffee while watching a Phoebe Buffet tribute and sang along, obviously out of key to hits such as Smelly Cat.
The only part I would say I was a little bit disappointed at was when you get to visit both Monica and Rachel's and Chandler and Joey's apartments. When you buy your ticket you can book a 30 minute time slot to see these recreated sets. As there are quite a lot of people both in your group and in the one behind you, we felt like this experience was quite rushed. I managed to get a photo everywhere that I wanted to, but I also felt like I had to run around for half an hour in order to do so. Despite this, they have replicated the apartments so perfectly it's hard to find a fault!
Apart from that, I had a truly amazing day and can't recommend it enough. The tour continues but unfortunately unless you already have tickets it might be quite hard to get your hands on some as the official website is currently sold out!
If you are going make sure you have spending money as it's guaranteed you'll want to pick something up at the shop. My Central Perk hoodie is my new favourite thing, but I'm not quite sure it'll make my next outfit post...
