FriendsFest heads to Manchester and Sheffield
After everyone went nuts for last year's sell-out tour last year, Comedy Central UK's FriendsFest returns this summer in partnership with The Luna Cinema, this time rolling out to new UK locations including Manchester and Sheffield.
Billing itself as the "ultimate super-fan experience" for cult 90s/00s TV series Friends, the 12-week tour of FriendsFest will bring the characters and sets to life in six new locations across the country, including Manchester's Heaton Park on 4-13 August and Hillsborough Park in Sheffield on 7-16 July.
Treating fans to the best of previous FriendsFest experiences, including Monica's apartment, Central Perk, Monica's Moon-Dance Diner and Ross and Rachel's Vegas wedding chapel, this year the tour debuts a new a full-scale set of Joey and Chandler's apartment, complete with a corridor leading to Monica's gaff over the way.
The experience will also feature unique fan experiences including a Friends quiz, original memorabilia, screenings of classic episodes, themed food stalls and even a 'Chick and Duck' bar, where you can grab a drink before having your photo taken at the gang's high school prom.
Fans have until midnight on Tuesday 21 February to sign up for pre-sale tickets, which cost £26 and will be available to them from 10am on Wed 22 Feb. General sale will commence on Fri 24 Feb.
