Are there any car boot sales in Exeter soon?

Hi,
I know there is a big one in Matford on a Sunday and a Wednesday, but I was wondering if there was any others in the area. I have a lot of new clothes to sell but I don't have trader's insurance (which Matford require for traders), I can pay the trader's fee, but you have to fill in a form & take proof of £5m insurance, which I don't have, and apparently if you pay as a 'normal' car booter but are seen as a trader by their inspectors going around the boot sale, you get kicked off. I just need to get rid of some of my stuff before I go away on holiday. I have 200+ clothes, so I am bound to get caught out by Matford.
Are there any 'private' ones, or ones that don't require such strict rules?
Thanks

there's one out at Westpoint on Sundays, later mornings, but not sure about the trading rules. Though when I went out there a few months ago nothing like that was mentioned to me.0
