Your Coastal Celebration

WEDNESDAY 30th to FRIDAY 1st JANUARY

This New Year, make the coast your home. At The Gallivant in East Sussex, our New Year Escape blends calm by the dunes, seasonal food at Harry’s and the spark of midnight fireworks overlooking Camber Sands.

At The Gallivant, New Year’s Eve always feels effortless.

Imagine the tranquility of long walks along our deserted beach, or starting that good book you’ve never quite started. Evenings focus on delicious dinners, with nothing more taxing than choosing which cocktail to start the evening.

Champagne in hand, candlelights flickering, our New Year’s escape has been thoughtfully designed to balance relaxation with moments of celebration, creating memories to carry with you throughout the coming year.

*****

Your New Year’s experience includes:

Upon arrival we’ll welcome you to The Gallivant with a freshly baked cake from the kitchen, before you enjoy a delightful a la carte dinner in Harry’s.

New Year’s Eve Day starts with an early morning wellness class for those inclined before a leisurely Gallivant breakfast to decide the plans for the day.  As the dusk falls, the evening unfolds with champagne, canapés and laughter, accompanied by our brilliant pianist to set the scene.

An exquisite four-course dinner at Harry’s leads into the night’s celebration with coffee and digestifs, fireworks on our terrace, and a midnight champagne toast to ring in the New Year.

New Year’s Day can start with a restorative wellness class for the strong before another a leisurely Gallivant breakfast, giving time to reflect on the night just past and the year ahead and fond farewells.

We’ve attended to every detail to ensure your New Year’s with us will be both restorative and joyful—the perfect beginning to 2027.

We think the Gallivant is an absolutely magical place and cannot think of anything which could be done differently or better.

We think all the staff are amazing but would particularly like to mention Daniel M who is an absolute shining star. The Gallivant is very lucky to have the wonderful Daniel working for them and should do everything possible to retain him!

I very much enjoyed my stay at the hotel and was very happy.
All the staff were polite, friendly and helpful on all occasions.
There were two girls in the dining room who were very kind to me and spoke to me whenever they got a chance.
I am not sure of their names but they will probably remember me as I had to return to Rye harbour to retrieve my glasses!
Their kindness was very much appreciated as I was dining alone.
I would love to come for another stay and hopefully will manage next year.
Kind regards, Mary Berry.

My daughter and I had a wonderful one night stay at The Gallivant. The property is cosy, beautifully designed, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our stay.

We absolutely loved our bedroom complete with a roll top bath and a stunning little private garden. A real gem, just a stones throw from Camber Sands Beach.

We had such a lovely time and we will definitely be back.

We had a fantastic stay. Everything was lovely and I think our favourite point to note is how lovely all the staff were. Everyone was very friendly and helpful yet also gave us our space which is a tricky balance to get right. We'll definitely be back ☺️ A special mention to Daniel (very welcoming with a lovely big smile) and Jessica (we loved her vibe).
