There's not a Friends fan alive who hasn't wished they could nip over to Joey and Chandler's to sit in the canoe and watch Baywatch, pop round to Monica's for a slap-up meal, or just nip down to Central Perk for a coffee and a muffin. Sadly though, it's not possible - or at least it wasn't until now.
Friends Fest 2017 is now in full swing, having already entertained fans in Cardiff, Sheffield and now Manchester.
The travelling festival is taking full scale sets, props from the show and loads more around the country to give Friends fans an unforgettable experience.

Ticketholders can check out full-scale models of Joey and Chandler's apartment, Monica and Rachel's and Central Perk, with every single detail having been signed off by Warner Bros., right down to the shades of paint used on the walls.
George Wood, managing director of The Luna Cinema, which has produced the event for Comedy Central, told the MEN: "The great thing about Friends Fest is that fans get to go on the sets. They can sit in the canoe, play the foosball table.
"Anyone who's a Friends fan will want to look at all the references, and there's little touches like when you open the freezer and there is Stephen King's The Shining."
2017's Friends Fest the follow-up to last year's hugely successful event and organisers say that this time round things will be even bigger and better.
Friends Fest says on its website: "Brand new features for 2017 include a full scale Joey & Chandler's apartment set, as well as never-before-seen memorabilia and props from the show.

"There's also the best of the fest from previous years, including Monica & Rachel's apartment, Recreate the Titles, Ross & Rachel's Vegas chapel of love, the chance to grab a coffee in Central Perk, something to eat in Monica's Moondance Diner and a drink at the Chick & Duck Bar... plus much, much more.
"There's also a special Friendsfest shop on site, offering exclusive memorabilia and merchandise."
Props available for fans to feast their eyes on include Phoebe's guitar, Ross's holiday armadillo costume and lots more. If that wasn't enough, you can even pick up a bar of Mockolate at the gift shop, although we're not sure why you'd want to.
The orange sofa from the opening credits will be there too, so you can recreate it for yourself at take away some photographic evidence.
