Pretty sure kids are allowed in Sainsburys and they sell alcohol too...

I'd hope that any alcohol sales from the shop would relate to exhibitions in the museum (i.e. something from Bali when the recently closed exhibition was on). Cant quite see them having a fridge stacked with cans of Stella in there. And either way, I cant imagine school groups leaving armed with tinnies rather than the Horniman pencils and erasers the seem to buy now - kinda presuming they'll be bound by the same age-related alcohol sales laws as anyone else.

I agree that the museum needs to regain some of the public's confidence after they mishandled the mass Jerk Off. They certainly need to detail how they intend to manage larger events. But they need to be given the chance to do this. I look forward to the Horniman providing a handful of well managed larger events each year from now on.
