COMEDY CENTRAL UK'S FRIENDSFEST - HAGGERSTON PARK, LONDON



It's been over 12 years since Friends aired its final episode and broke the hearts of millions around the world, yet it remains a treasured and much adored part of so many people's lives. Still aired daily on Comedy Central, Friends was a cultural phenomenon of the nineties and noughties - a timeless comedy that still endures over a decade since it came to an end.

It's because of its popularity that we are still haunted by rumours of a reunion at least once a year (we're still waiting, guys...), and why events like FriendsFest exist to this day. An homage to the show that gave us Ross, Rachel, Joey, Phoebe, Monica and Chandler, and the many other unforgettable characters and moments it produced in its 10 seasons, FriendsFest brings together die-hard fans from across the country (and beyond!) for a true celebration.
