Have great time, but not in village? (2,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
go to town
'have' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'great time but not in village?' is the wordplay.
'great' becomes 'gt' (abbreviation used in place names).
'time but' becomes 'o' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'not' becomes 'o' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'village?' becomes 'town' (I've seen this in another clue).
'gt'+'o'='gto'
'gto' going around 'o' is 'goto'.
'goto'+'town'='GO TO TOWN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for go to town that I've seen before include "let rip!" , "wanting to have a ball" , "Push boat out" , "Be most thorough" , "Enthusiastically undertake" .)
