Dartington, Devon — Nestled in the heart of the Cider Press Centre, a new venue is quietly making noise. CLASH, the latest venture from the team behind Things Happen Here, opened its doors to an invited audience for a sneak preview ahead of its full launch in February 2026 — and it’s already turning heads.

Linked to the beloved Things Happen Here at Shinner’s Bridge in Dartington, CLASH is a vibrant new space built for connection, creativity, and community. Think brilliant beers, curated wines, cocktails, and a full spectrum of no and low-alcohol options — all served with flair. Add rotating food pop-ups (Mexican tacos to vegan kebabs and everything in between), eclectic DJ sets, and the signature sparkle of Things Happen Here, and you’ve got a venue that’s ready to become a local favourite.

“CLASH is about bringing people together — think of it as an extension to what we’ve created at Things Happen Here in a different setting.” — Ed, co-founder

At the preview event, festive revellers gathered to soak up the atmosphere. The DJ was spinning some lush, lo-fi sonic offerings which set the tone of the evening perfectly, while friends chatted over cider and cocktails, and queued for freshly grilled tacos from the pop-up stall in the car park. It was relaxed, inclusive, and unmistakably Dartington.

CLASH is gearing up for a full launch in February, but the buzz has already begun. With its mix of great drinks, eclectic food offerings, and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s poised to be the place to congregate, celebrate, and enjoy life to its fullest.
