When Storsjöyran and Visby medieval week announced that they would cancel, and Västmanland's infection protection doctors also advised the association to cancel, the medieval association also decided to cancel the Medieval Days in Arboga, Bärgslagsbladet / Arboga newspaper reported on Friday.

 - It feels boring. We have had this event for 30 years and it is the biggest event that Arboga has, says Weiderud.

More than 30,000 people visit the event, which would have been held the second week of August. It was a difficult decision to make, especially to notify all traders in Arboga, says Weiderud.

- They already have it tough but that was the only responsible thing to do.

Some artists already booked in hope to be able to visit Arboga later this year.

- Possibly, perhaps, Arboga's Christmas market can have a medieval feel when concerts and other bookings may be held then.

Peter Weiderud still looks bright for the future and next year.

- 2021 will be a record year when we will be looking forward to celebrating the Middle Ages.
