I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'caper' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'tavern due for refurbishment' is the wordplay.
'for refurbishment' is an anagram indicator.
'tavern'+'due'='taverndue'
'taverndue' with letters rearranged gives 'ADVENTURE'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adventure that I've seen before include "Risky or exciting experience" , "The thrill" , "risky undertaking" , "Exciting series of events" , "Wild and exciting undertaking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
