Are there any car boot sales in Exeter soon?

Options
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.
  • and I should mention that out at the Westpoint one, lots of people were selling new goods, mainly toiletries
  • Thank-you!
  • its just outside exeter but on the way to exmouth opposite the nutwell lodge is one on a thursday morning, im sure it starts at 10

  • also there is always one on a saturday at newton abbot which is only about a 20 minute drive, sometimes its on the race course, the rest of the time its in the livestock market, might be worth phoning those about traders insurance etc
