We Went To FriendsFest... And LOVED IT!

On an overcast Tuesday afternoon, a few eager TruffleShuffle crew made their way to the totally awesome event being held at Blaise Castle in Bristol. With their Friends TShirts proudly on, we made our way into what can only be described as Friends heaven!

So what is FriendsFest? Gathering together some amazing props from the show and also recreating some iconic set, it's really the ultimate celebration of this hit show that really throws you into the action. Fancy a cuppa in Central Perk after having a browse around Monica's apartment? Now you can!
