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.

I absolutely loved my short stay with you. My welcome was exceptional by the lovely Corey who booked me in, Hamish who heard my Scottish accent and the lovely warm Maria. Every member of the team was fab and I must call out the excellent bar service and restaurant service. The food was delicious but it takes the environment, the culture for it to taste that bit more special. It did.
My room was lovely and bed/pillows very comfortable but would prefer a bit more privacy when sitting out in the garden, maybe some planting between the rooms to create the illusion of a divider? I loved the planting around the hotel. As I said everyone was great but my 2 call outs are, Corey who spotted me sitting on the bench out front when I couldn't join my friends on the beach (I'm recovering from 2 recent knee replacements) he went and got me a lovely glass of wine to enjoy. The other is Maria she was warm and friendly throughout by when I was leaving she gave me a lovely hug as I was explaining that as well as my recent operations that my mum died a couple of months ago so its been a very difficult time. I have stayed in many 5 star hotels and can honestly say this is the best service I've received. I could happily have stayed longer. Thank you xx

Thank you all for looking after us so well on Friday. The service was excellent throughout the day. It would be unfair to single one person out as everyone was so helpful and friendly. I would however like to thank your Night Porter in particular for his calmness and patience dealing with a young, energetic and fairly demanding team!!
Thank you Gallivant.. we'll be back again soon (if you'll have us!)

Second stay and `we will be back and will also recommend to friends and family when the house we are building nearby is too full!

All staff were very helpful and efficient. In particular, Agnes, who found my husbands Mac charger left in the room and who is going to mail it to us.
