The third It Happened Here event ran on Thursday 29th September at Camper Coffee in the heart of McCoy's Arcade on Fore Street. Set up as a quarterly collective gathering, the evening was well attended by over 120 local and small business owners and aspiring individuals from Exeter and beyond. A range of businesses attended and the evening provided a great informal occasion for people to get to know each other.
