How to get The Friends Experience tickets as sale goes live for London exhibition
Oh. My. God. The Friends Experience is coming to London and could we BE any more excited?
It’s been 30 years since Friends first hit our screens, but as a society, we’re still not done with it. Much like the relationship of Ross and Rachel, the hype for this classic sitcom never seems to end.
Now, it's back in our lives once again as the Friends Experience is coming to London this summer.
Hitting London's ExCel this August, The Friends Experience is moving over after a successful run in the Birmingham NEC last summer, and bringing with it the sights, sounds and sets of the beloved sitcom.
The Exhibition – titled The Friends Experience: The One in London – will land in time for the show's 30th anniversary, but don't worry about rushing off to see it, as the plan is to make the ExCel its permanent home.
Stacy Moscatelli, Chief Executive Officer of Original X Productions, said: "The Friends Experience: The One in London marks a significant milestone as our second global flagship, continuing our expansion of this beloved attraction.
