4 Arts Trail During June you ll see lots of pictures displayed in various businesses around Waterlooville. They ve been painted by children in local schools and people are invited to walk around to view them. St. George s Church has been linked with Queen s Inclosure Primary School, and shortly a display of the children s art work will appear. It will be in Church from June 1 st and will remain on show until after the Music Festival. It s hoped that a good number of people will come into Church to see the display and hopefully they ll explore the Church itself at the same time. The new display boards have been purchased by Waterlooville Music Festival.
