Big Brother House open to the public 27, 28 Sept!!

[SSL2012]

£16 admission charge, includes a full tour of the house (inc diary room).

National Trust are the company responsible for this occuring. Some people criticising the trust, saying the bb house isn't a national treasure, and isn't important to the heritage of the country etc. I think for it's time, it has a massive heritage in reality t.v and will forever be known as the mother of that genre.

Getting quite a bit of publicity too.

Anyone gunna go to this?

[Josy]

If I lived near then I would definitely go.

[erinp5]

If I lived near I would love to go.
I have made a duplicate thread ,can it be deleted .

[Verbal]

£16 each they're having a laugh

[Marsh.]

Anne Widdecombe mouthing off. :rolleyes:

I can't believe she used the word tawdry either given the fact she's clearly never watched and she made some pretty horrific television on that dancing show. :laugh:

I'm hoping they add extra dates due to popular demand. I emailed national trust and requested it, ha ha. Hope everyone that has been lucky enough to get tickets has an AMAZING time!! x

[_Tom_]

I got tickets for Friday at 3PM :hugesmile:

Anyone else going alone?

[arista]

Yes it was just debated at the end of Ch5HD News Talk

[lukee]

dam they all gone :/

[jackc1806]

So so so so excited! Might see a few TiBB guys too!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Sold out.

Dammit!

[*mazedsalv**]

Sold out.

Dammit!

That's a good sign for us and will shut a lot of the doubters up who thought that BB was nowhere near good enough to do this. :)

[Jack_]

If this is successful (which if they've sold out already it looks like it will be), I do hope they'll put more dates on or make this an annual thing, rather than a one-off.

I have always thought they should open it up to the public but never in my life did I think they actually would...especially not the National Trust either :o

When I heard "National Trust" and "Opening BB house" today, I actually had to look at the calendar to maker sure it was not April 1st. Very pleasantly surprised :D

Exactly my thoughts!!! :thumbs:

[jackc1806]

Is it a tour just round the interior or do you go through the camera runs too? :amazed:

[Shaun]

what a saddening representation of modern culture

[Rob!]

The national Trust loving BB :love:

If the event has sold out ALREADY - this surely means they'll do it again....next time...next time.... :(

Everyone who goes MUST take a **** load of pictures :(

[Tregard]

Anne Widdecombe mouthing off. :rolleyes:

I can't believe she used the word tawdry either given the fact she's clearly never watched and she made some pretty horrific television on that dancing show. :laugh:

She presented "Cleverdicks", for god's sake.

Northern Ireland, damn :/

I wouldn't go that far. More trying to "get down with the youth". :laugh:

[Jack_]

It's a bit silly and surprising that it's a National Trust thing but I don't think it's a bad idea on it's own and I don't see anything wrong with opening it up in general, some people have an interest in visiting TV/film sets...hence why I'd love to go and had to get a ticket.

Congrats Jack!!!!:thumbs:
It's not my sort of thing but i think it's a great opportunity for those that are into the it!

Who are you taking with you ?

Hope you have an awesome time anyway!!! I wonder if they'll let you take pictures in the DR Chair and stuff ?:hugesmile:

[zakman440]

I'm gutted, I left booking them too late :bawling:. Hopefully someone cancelles so then I can get tickets.

[arista]

Sold out.

Dammit!


Maybe they may do another weekend
due to the massive demand

[Northern Monkey]

Nah,It's enough for me to see on telly,I'm not that much of a fan tbf.

[Beso]

just got tickets for saturday the 28th september. I live miles away though lol

if you end up not being able to go, drop me a message and i will take them of you as i live nearby.at a price of course.:hugesmile:

[zakman440]

I really do hope that they have an extra weekend, they probably won't though because of the raffle to go to the gala thing. Meh, maybe next year.

[Visage]

If it was close then I would be very tempted to take a look.

As it stands I'll just have to wait and see all the glorious pictures (those who go) that will be shared on here.
