Has anyone been to see this yet? I've just booked myself a ticket as an early birthday present (it moves onto Manchester for a two week run the weekend before my birthday, and is also gonna be touring the UK).

The curator and one of the Spice collectors who's pulled this event together has done an interview for Rolling Stone about how it all came about: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/spice-up-inside-londons-massive-new-spice-girls-exhibit-703834/

I actually nearly went to Liz West's own collection exhibition in Watford two years ago but had to cancel at the last minute. So seeing it now in this set up - with the actual Spice Bus - is very exciting!

I'd love to go but I won't be able to make it to London or Manchester. Can't really justify travelling specifically for it unfortunately. Annoyingly I will be in London a few days after it finishes!

Hoping it might be on display somewhere in the midlands when it tours, Birmingham would be ideal!

Yes it is available at the venue. I don't know how much it is in the bundle but it is £10 on the day. I wish I got one now but didn't have the spare cash at the time really.

Me and my mum have spontaneously decided to go to this on Saturday in London, so excited! thanks for the heads up on Twitter about it happening at the moment Alex I guess we have exhibition fever atm after going to The Beatles Story in Liverpool last Saturday. 11-year-old me would be going mental right now as I have always been in awe of Spice Girls collections / memorabilia, I used to email Liz West a lot and always wanted to see her collection. So this exhibition should be a great day out I think.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BmWkjKolc79/ - some pictures from today on my instagram! I had such an amazing time, I was in awe at all of the costumes and merchandise. The section in particular about their sponsorships is collectors heaven. They actually showed 'Live In Istanbul' rather than Spiceworld in the little movie room today but no qualms here as I've seen the movie loads of times but hadn't seen that concert in a while. Shall upload my video of the day next week *.*

My write up on my visit today now live on my blog (I had a great time Jade, thanks for asking, love your vlog!) https://wp.me/p4UO9N-13T

Alan, Liz and all the team who've put this together have done such an amazing job. If any Northern Buzzjack peeps are thinking of going to the Manchester leg then do, it's brilliant and nostalgic and uplifting all in one!

I've just seen on Twitter that the exhibition - which had moved onto Watford and was scheduled to run there until New Year's Eve - has closed for good today. Terribly sad news, I wonder what happened?
