Could this BE any more exciting? For one day only, McDonald’s is turning Cineworld’s – Swindon branch into a FRIENDS-themed immersive experience.

McDonald’s is bringing FRIENDS to the big screen with a nationwide tour this month, visiting twelve locations across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

Fans will be in a FRIENDZ-y with exclusive cinema screenings and merch, fun photo moments and unmissable FRIENDS experiences.

The FRIENDS takeover takes place at Swindon's Cineworld branch on Monday 16 February. McDonald’s, in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP) and DCM, will be hosting exclusive screenings of FRIENDS episodes on the big screen.

FRIENDS fans will have the chance to watch the iconic show with a FREE Maccies, take a seat, and enjoy their favourite FRIENDS episode with a FREE Maccies in hand (subject to availability). One of six collectibles will be available with the FRIENDS Meal© - Rachel Green, Monica Geller, Phoebe Buffay, Joey Tribbiani, Chandler Bing or Ross Geller.

There will also be a FREE, AI photobooth that turns YOU into a FRIENDS-style character design (and yes, you can print it on a t-shirt and take home with you for FREE!).

Tickets are free but they’ll go faster than Ross saying, “WE WERE ON A BREAK!”
