With the help of STF, SE23, and EDF, Horniman is now up to 27% (within 2 days of putting the information on Facebook).
We are still in third place, but rapidly closing in on the two leaders.
Please make sure you and your family vote before the deadline of Tuesday.

rAndom International’s recent immersive installation Rain Room at Barbican’s Curve Gallery had visitors queuing for hours. For Museums at Night they will be weaving their magic at The Horniman Museum and Gardens whose 1,615 votes secured a live art event with an installation, music and storytelling inspired by the museum, garden spaces and natural history collections.
Hooray, we won!

I know loads of people who will be going to this event on Thursday, it should be something very special. Tickets are now sold out!

I can't believe all posts (the entire thread) about the vote and the event have been removed from SE23.com so that people in Sydenham, East Dulwich, and Brockley have more chance to know about such events than people in Forest Hill.
