Darvell Bruderhof

The Bruderhof (German for “place of brothers”) is a Christian intentional community of families and singles who share their possessions and live together seeking to fully live out Jesus’ teachings in the Sermon on the Mount.

Darvell, located in East Sussex near the historic town of Hastings, was founded in 1971 and is home to around 300 people. Similar to other large Bruderhof communities, it is made up of a mix of families and singles, young and old, who live, work, and worship together.

Adults work in various community departments including the farm and garden, kitchen, laundry, medical and dental clinics, and the manufacturing facility and offices of Community Playthings, which produces classroom and play equipment. The UK office of Plough Publishing is located here as well. We share a daily meal in our dining hall, and worship together several times throughout the week. Children attend primary school on the community. We often collaborate with neighboring churches or community clubs to work on service projects, and we welcome visitors whether for a meal or longer stay.
