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.

Lovely stay. Great bedroom ( Forties) and enjoyable dinners – innovative menu. We had to change our plans because of the weather. Cory and Nikita came up with things to do and places to eat- Webbes, Fish Shack and Pilot Inn. Kirin was a lovely waitress, but all the staff were charming. On the last day, Fiona gave us some lavender from the garden, a perfect end to our stay.

We had an amazing stay at the Gallivant. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The location is just perfect being right across from the beach which is spectacular. I took my dog who was welcomed with open arms and loved all the beautiful scents in the enclosed garden. Would definitely recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay.
All staff were very pleasant and helpful, in particular Lyndsay who gave us a lift to the train station after our taxi got a puncture!

Having discovered beautiful Rye some 8 years ago, we have made several holiday visits there, but have always stayed in the town, until we discovered the hidden charms of the Gallivant at the beginning of September this year. As it was at the end of our last visit, we only had the pleasure of enjoying 3 meals and 1 overnight stay with you, which was simply not enough to enjoy the special attention and many delights of the hotel. We were most impressed by the quality of staff and attention to detail but would like to give a special thanks to Lindsay and Paul B who not only made us feel so welcome, but impressed us by their professionalism and customer skills. Nothing was too much trouble and they were both able to make us feel so relaxed from the moment we met them, adding to the enjoyment of our stay. The addition of the electric charging points in the car park were a big plus for us, enabling us to recharge our car overnight for the journey home the following day.
We have such happy memories of our visit and would have no hesitation in staying with you next time we are in the area.
Kind regards,
Barbara & Alan Baxter.
