Each Carrot Club Meet Up takes place inside a different independent business that is part of the Spiky Carrot network. It gives you the chance to discover great local venues, meet the people behind them, and connect with other business owners in the area.
There are no formal pitches or 60 second introductions, just relaxed conversation, the opportunity to meet new people, and the chance to enjoy the food, drinks or products that make each venue unique.
