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 had a lovely stay. The weather was awful but we felt very cosy and relaxed, the ambience and environment in the Gallivant was exactly what we wanted for some much needed down time. Food and drinks were great, my other half won’t stop talking about the meal we had one evening, he enjoyed it that much. Would happily go back for another quiet weekend, hopefully the weather will be kinder next time!

Had a lovely stay at the super stylish and yet oh so friendly Gallivant.

The huge bath and super Bamford products were gorgeous and the sleepy tea at bedtime and room turn down service was a lovely touch.

All the staff were unfailingly helpful and friendly and the hotel has a lovely feel.

Freshly baked biscuits in the afternoon and wine at 5pm in front of the fire – perfect

I wanted to tell you how much this wonderful stay at the Gallivant meant to me! It was just exactly what I needed– a balm on my soul; to take care of myself being surrounded in a such a lovely space with this "private hotel with number of rooms and a restaurant" along with the library and the roaring fireplace….just amazing.

The Gallivant crew, of course, made it possible by providing me with everything I needed– a lovely room with a much needed bathtub which I was so happy to soak in with my books after a long absence from bathtubs–to the great dining room service to answering my number of questions as well as providing me with beach experiences! I can't thank enough to Crystal (taking care of details such as door locks, taxi arrangement, Rye food recommendations), Elton and Paul (great attentive service at dinner!) Louisa for with the wine in the library, Hamish (for his service for the beach ideas) Anna (her cheerfulness at breakfast along with a hug when I left was just appreciated!) and Lindsey and Naketa for their emails (so excited when I was able to get a bathtub room) and they all were so kind and generous– your actions were not forgotten and it means so much to me.

It is because of the AMAZING service they provided that also made it a beautiful and peaceful stay at such a gorgeous hotel– I loved the design and it was so cozy and welcoming. The library was to die for. I loved the books in the bedroom- such a nice touch. And I was so grateful to have both Nextflix and Amazon Prime so I could catch up watching the shows as I don't have access to them while traveling. It is just a perfect place to hole up with your books, reflecting and just soaking in the environment….what a joy it is to have that!

Camber Sands is just so incredible, and I loved taking long walks along the sea and on my last day, I borrowed your blanket and sat in the sand dunes, in the sunlight, reading my book for four hours! Heavenly! This place is truly a balm and I am coming back!!!

Thank you so much again for the wonderful hospitality.

P.S. Can't I just live there or work for you!?

With warm regards,
Sarah Arana
