I believe the answer is:

goings-on

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

'happenings that are showing no signs of stopping?' is the definition.
'goings-on' can be an answer for 'happenings' (I have seen 'Suspicious happenings' mean 'goings-on' so perhaps 'happenings' could also mean 'goings-on'). I'm not sure about the rest of the definition.

'happenings that are showing' is the wordplay.
'happenings' becomes 'goings' (going is a kind of happening).
'that are showing' becomes 'on' (as in a film showing or on at a cinema).
'goings'+'on'='GOINGS-ON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for goings-on that I've seen before include "Suspicious happenings" , "Suspect events or behaviour" , "Funny business" , "Hanky-panky" , "Activities, esp. dubious ones" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
