    The Friends Experience: The One in Dublin officially opened its doors this week and welcomed an array of celebrities, media and influencers for its VIP launch.

    There were many familiar faces at the launch event of the immersive experience, which is located within the newly opened Theatre of Light at the Point Village. Among the attendees were presenters Lorraine Keane and Baz Ashmahy, who brought their Friends-loving families along with them.

    Football star Stephanie Roche, along with influencers Chloe Ormonde and Grace Mongey, singer Soule and Enya Martin were all seen taking selfies throughout the experience. Pro-dancer Laura Nolan was also spotted alongside her Love Island star beau Matthew McNabb, recreating the timelessly hilarious “Pivot!” couch scene.

    Here are some of the highlights of the immersive experience launch event. Tickets are still available for those who want to step into the iconic world of the much-loved TV show.
