In the village is a small micro brewery. The drinks are vegan and very reasonably priced. It was a very pleasant way to spend a sunny afternoon. We had cider which was delicious1

Information on this was hyped up and very disappointing. It is not as extensive as advertised and quite run down.

Very cool spot in Coventry, record shops, vintage and craft shops plus beer, food and sometimes music advents on. Some nice street art pieces around. The Just Dropped In records shop is superb and the lovely owner Alan is a great bloke, essential visit if you are in the city..

Great place to shop, relax, eat, drink and get social.
Loads of great independent shops including Just Dropped in, Big Comfy Bookshop, Fantazia Designs etc
Plenty of amazing food outlets including A wide variety of different choices from Indian, Italian, American and Vegan etc
Loads of great coffee outlets including the new Commonground which is also a printing company.
Also a brewery on site courtesy of Twisted Barrel. Some amazing local beer including IPA, Stout and Sours

I came here to a comedy gala at the Box venue. I had booked a table at the latest place to the eat, The Factory, which was very modern and the food excellent, I then went into The Twisted Barrel brewery for a drink before going in to watch the gala.
This place is very busy on a Friday night and I really enjoyed myself, hopefully they will put more of this type of thing on on the future.

First time I've been to fargo village despite living in coventry for over 30 years. Brought here to have breakfast at the Gourmet food kitchen. Omg literally the best breakfast ever. All home produced quality tasty ingredients. Afterwards tried to walk off the calories around fargo village and spent a fortune!!!! Now all I need to do is to try and get an elusive table at one of Tony's gourmet nights!!!!!!!

First time in Fargo village today and I was not disappointed. This shop in particular caught my attention with its calm aura and blissful music. This shop had EVERYTHING. rings, bracelets, Buddhas, incense, rugs, dresses... The lady in here was so friendly and helpful and really knew her products. I brought an amazing wrap dress which she let me try on first too. So if you’re in Coventry do not give this place a miss! Solid 10/10

Don't park in the Fargo Village car park as you'll get a fine!! Now £60.00 down! Annoying when you pay to park yet we couldn't see a clear notice! Won't visit again.

Can you bring dogs here? Thank you

Hello,
I confirm the other answer. I see no reason for a restriction on dogs, because the village is the equivalent of a public street.
There would be the usual restriction on dogs in food service areas, and those imposed by business owners.
I hope this helps.

Hi Scotty369, I am the owner of EYS (Express Your Shelves) I'd like to offer an apology for not being open when you came to visit yesterday. As my colleague from Allsorts stated previously I had a family emergency that needed my full attention and the consequence of that meant I was closed yesterday. I am always open from 9:30 in the mornings until 6pm most days excluding Thursday's when I'm open till 8pm and Sunday's 4pm. I do hope that you won't let this encounter disappoint your trip and you will come back to see us again. Kind regards,
Here on a wed morning. The shops have signage on the doors saying opening at 10. It's now 10.50 and still the shops are not open. Why?
