The water feature was switched on for the first time in 35 years as a tribute to those in Wyre Forest who lost their lives to Covid-19 in 2021. 

Since then it's been switched on to mark several national and international events, including the anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth II and Holocaust Memorial Day.
