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 last min stay with our bloodhound Maggie.
The staff were incredible, friendly and helpful and it is clear this is a location not just ticking the dog friendly box but actually embracing and catering for them. But please don’t think that means there is a single compromise on cleanliness or standards. Not one bit.

After long stunning walk along the sands we relaxed with a coffee and freshly baked cookies and we actually managed to read a paper.. a first for us in a long time! Tucked up in one of the well appointed side lounges.

We booked in for supper. My wife had the monkfish and I had the pork chop both were fantastic. Service was equally fantastic too.

Polished off with a little tipple or two. A truly enjoyable and lovely evening we had, Maggie tucked under the table and moderately well behaved.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Made even better by the staff.

Keep up the great work team we’ll be back, and so will “Maggie”!
