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.

Food and drink were excellent and we were really glad to see your support for Blood Cancer UK as my wife's father is in remission for leukaemia so lovely to see you supporting the charity. We look forward to coming again soon. Cheers, Sam

We had a fabulous stay at the Gallivant. Even though it was absolutely freezing outside it was cosy and warm, the glass of English wine at 5 was a nice touch and the food/staff were lovely. Even though it was only two nights we felt refreshed and rested. Thank you.

Please thank Nikita for all that she did to make us feel welcome last Sunday night and Monday. We finally arrived, late, after being stuck for a couple of hours in the snow up in Seddlescombe, followed by a somewhat hairy journey down to Rye. She greeted us with a warm welcome and a drink and squeezed us in for a last minute dinner, for which we were very grateful. When we were checking out, there was a little confusion about our disappeared breakfast bill, which was then waived with added generosity. We try to get to The Gallivant at least a couple of times a year. It is one of our very favourite places to be. The care and service we receive is always brilliant and this time was no exception. Thank you.
