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.

A brilliant weekend stay. Our room was very well appointed with luxurious toiletries, towels and bedding. Far superior than some 5 star properties we have stayed in. The food was delicious and the staff were attentive- the sommelier was particularly knowledgeable and entertaining. We have stayed here many times and are looking forward to The Gallivant Littlestone opening next year.

Stayed here for a one night getaway and wished we could have stayed longer! From start to finish we were made to feel right at home. Lindsay and the team were wonderful, very friendly and attentive. The decor throughout the hotel was beautiful, everywhere smelt delightful. There were lots of extra touches that made our stay feel even more special – wellies for walks, tea and coffee station with a selection of juices you could help yourself to. Blankets, bags and towels you can use for the beach which the proximity is unbeatable. Everything we encountered were all of the highest quality. Can’t forget the English wine at 5, the perfect little treat whilst you relax playing a selection of games. We opted to have a romantic sunset fish and chips in the dunes which was packed up for us with two lovely cocktails to drink alongside. I’ve never stayed anywhere quite like it, every little detail was perfect. You can count on leaving here very relaxed and in a rush to rebook. Thank you all at the Gallivant.

We had the most wonderful stay at the Gallivant. The stars of the show were the staff who were so helpful, friendly and chatty. Nothing was too much trouble. In particular, it was comforting to know that all staff were aware of our nut allergy and took immediate steps to ensure all food was nut free. Anna was a bright and cheery presence in the morning and Lete at reception was so friendly throughout our stay. It is those details that really make a difference. We were also pleased to see the hotel looking so good and comfortable, particularly the bar which was very snug. We will be back!
