24 years since it first aired and it goes without saying that 90s sitcom Friends holds a special place in our hearts.
Is it bad that since its release on Netflix, I have watched season one through to 10, twice, without once skipping the intro because of THAT theme tune.
Friends is one of those shows where the set alone holds so much nostalgia because of the memories attatched to it.
Monica's apartment, where all six lived at one point or another; Joey's apartment, where he and Chandler shared fond memories of bonding over a game of foosball; and of course, Central Perk, where they all shared numerous cups of coffee together.
Now, superfans can follow in the footsteps of their favourite Friends cast members and explore the set for themselves.
Friendsfest returns to the UK and stops in six different locations, Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Bristol, Brighton and London.
And although we might not have our own Friendsfest on Irish soil, if you are a big fan then splashing out some small cash for a cheap flight across the pond is well worth it.

The best of the fest from previous years, including Monica's apartment, Joey and Chandler's apartment, Ross & Rachel's Vegas chapel of love, and the chance to grab a coffee in Central Perk also return this year.

Fans can wear a wedding dress and head to the Las Vegas chapel of love where Ross and Rachel got married, recreate the famous 'pivot' scene and pose for photographs on the sofa from the title sequence by the fountain.
There's also a special Friendsfest shop on site, offering exclusive memorabilia and merchandise.
