What to Expect

Every Carrot Club Meet-Up is hosted inside a different independent business that's part of the Spiky Carrot network.

No pitches, no formal networking. Just genuine conversations, meaningful local connections, and the chance to discover the independent businesses that make our local patch unique.

No two meet-ups are the same. Every venue brings its own character, and we gently help everyone mix throughout the event, making it easy to meet new people in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Why are places limited?

This meet-up has space for up to 15 people.

Every Carrot Club meet-up is hosted by one of our trusted venue partners, so the number of places varies from venue to venue. Whatever the size, we always aim to create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where everyone has the chance to chat and make meaningful connections.

FAQs

Have a question about the meet ups? Here are a few common things people often ask before attending.

Is there a limit on spaces?: Yes. Spaces are limited due to the size of the independent venue hosting the meet up, so booking in advance is recommended.

Is this a formal networking event?: No. Carrot Club Meet Ups are relaxed and informal. There are no 60 second pitches or forced introductions, just natural conversation and the chance to meet new people.

What happens during the meet up?: We begin with a short welcome and a quick introduction from the independent business hosting the event. After that the evening is informal networking where you can chat with other attendees and explore the venue.

Will there be food or drinks available?

Yes. The meet ups take place inside independent venues such as cafés, bakeries or breweries, so you will have the opportunity to buy coffee, cake, beer or other local products during the event.

We encourage attendees to support the venue by purchasing something while they are there. One of the goals of the meet ups is to help people discover and support great local businesses, and each venue offers something a little different.
