Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It was the ultimate experience for the Friends ultra-fan; yet, unfortunately, FriendsFest's time in London last summer was far too brief and inaccessible for majority of the UK.
Well, some excellent news. FriendsFest has upheld its promises; you know, the ones about being there when the rain starts to pour, which in the UK basically means forever and all the time.
Comedy Central UK is bringing FriendsFest back as a travelling tour to six cities in the coming weeks, meaning whole swathes of the UK will now be able to submerge themselves in faithful recreations of the show's classic sets.
That includes getting a chance to sip coffee and indulge in some 'Smelly Cat' karaoke, while visiting the likes of Central Perk, the opening titles' fountain, and Monica's ever-spotless apartment.
The tour is also adding some new surprises; namely Joey and Chandler's apartment - table football included - and the Vegas Chapel of Love where Rachel and Ross so unwisely tied the knot.
The full tour dates can be found below:
HAGGERSTON PARK, HOXTON: 24 August –29 August
CHISWICK HOUSE & GARDENS: 1 September – 44 September
HYLANDS HOUSE, ESSEX: 7 September –11 September
HAREWOOD HOUSE, LEEDS: 14 September – 18 September
KNEBWORTH HOUSE, HERTS: 21 September –25 September
BLENHEIM PALACE, OXFORDSHIRE: 28 September –1 October
Just as with last year, this is going to be a hugely coveted event, having previously sold out in a mere 13 minutes. You have until midnight, 28 June to sign up here for exclusive access to buy tickets, with general sale opening 1 July.
