Overview

As a huge Friends fanatIc, I was beyond excited to be going to Friendsfest! And it was everything I hoped it would be. There are three sets there to tour: Monica's apartment, Joey and Chandler's apartment and Ross's apartment. During each tour there are at least 20 people, however the staff ensured that I spent some time, even just for a moment, my own in the set slack you get the full experience too. There are plenty street food trucks to choose from, including Joey's pizza, and a Mocolate van (but rest assured it is not chocolate they used). There is of course the Central Perk set with the clever cordon so that you can enjoy a coffee right next to TVs favourite coffee house. The only part that was tricky for a wheelchair user was a section for having your photo taken – it was a giant replica of the photo frame covering the people on Monica's front door. There is a decent sized step up to this however I am quite fortunate that I have a curb climber on my wheelchair.

As a huge Friends fan this was the best day ever. I had so much fun moving through the sets and having my picture taken and all the iconic places in everyone's apartment. Friendsfest will be at a number of locations in the UK this summer, please check it out!
