The Waterlooville church which has been magically transformed into a Christmas ice rink
Cowplain Evangelical Church in Durley Avenue transformed the place of worship into a winter wonderland, with an ice rink for families to come and enjoy over the weekend.
The winter wonderland cost the church £4,000 to install.
Hundreds of people came through the doors, which Reverend Phill Brown hopes will help to spread '˜the true message of Christmas'.

'˜We do lots of children's work and other things to get people coming into the church '“Â which helps them to get a feeling for what the true message of Christmas is about.
'˜We had lots of people come in over the weekend; lots of people booked and we had plenty more come through during the weekend too.'
