Darvill's mother worked with masks, puppets, and live acting as a member of Cannon Hill Puppet Theatre, which was based at Midlands Arts Centre, and toured England and the world. Prior to the birth of his sister, Darvill went on some of the tours, helping with the setting up of the show.

At the age of 18, Darvill moved to London with four friends from youth theatre, each having secured a place at a drama school. They moved into a house in White City together.
