What to Expect
Every Carrot Club Meet-Up takes place inside a different independent business within the Spiky Carrot community.
No pitches, no formal networking, just genuine conversation, interesting people, and the opportunity to discover the independent businesses that make our local area unique.
About This Meet-Up
Join us for a relaxed morning at The Mobberley Ice Cream, bringing together local business owners, creatives, and independents for a genuine in-person connection.
This isn’t a formal networking event. There’s no pressure, no pitching, and no awkward introductions.
It’s simply a chance to meet good people, have easy conversations, and spend time in a lovely independent space.
You’ll also get to meet Sophie, the owner behind The Mobberley Ice Cream, hear a bit about her journey, and experience her beautiful venue in Mobberley. If the sun’s out, even better, you can enjoy a scoop of ice cream on us in the sunshine.
The Experience
We keep things simple and relaxed.
You’ll arrive, grab ice cream, and settle in at your own pace. Conversations happen naturally, without any structure or pressure.
There’ll also be a short, informal talk from May Cheung, sharing her experience as a business owner. She’s currently featured in our frame space at Mobberley Ice Cream, and will be offering honest, down-to-earth insight.
It’s all designed to help you feel comfortable, stay a little longer, and enjoy being part of something local.
