Things Happen Here

Things Happen Here is an independent taproom and live music venue in Dartington, Devon, with a second venue, CLASH, at the nearby Cider Press Centre. The two spaces combine a relaxed bar setting with a varied programme of gigs, DJ sessions and community events, making them options for organisers looking for a distinctive local venue.

CLASH is specifically available to book for private parties, functions and other events. Its lounge-style atmosphere, bar and outdoor space provide a social setting for guests to meet, eat and enjoy music. Things Happen Here also hosts performances by touring and local artists, alongside DJs and other events. Organisers and promoters interested in putting on an event can contact the business to discuss arrangements and venue information.

Drinks include a changing selection of craft beers from independent breweries, with wine, spirits and non-alcoholic choices also available. CLASH adds cocktails and a choice of low- and no-alcohol drinks. Food is offered regularly at both sites, with visiting street-food vendors at CLASH and pizza available at Things Happen Here on selected days. Food availability can vary, so organisers should confirm details when planning.

Both locations have indoor and outdoor seating, and the business describes its spaces as inclusive and community-minded. Things Happen Here is based at Meadowbrook Community Centre, while CLASH is across the road at the Cider Press Centre. The venues are close to Totnes and have nearby parking and local transport links. For organisers seeking a casual, music-led setting for a gathering or function in the Dartington area, CLASH offers a direct private-hire option, while the wider business brings experience hosting live performances and events.
