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 hardly know where to start! We originally booked forever ago and had to change our bookin due to covid. Your team were so accommodating and made everything easy right from the word go. My mum, sister and I were belatedly celebrating my 50th and mums 70th and we loved every minute. The hotel is beautiful yet homely and the staff were so friendly and helpful. I had to change timings and bookings multiple times to make it all perfect and fit in everything on offer, and it was never an issue. The weather was amazing so we could go to the beach and the hotel seems to think of everything – beach towels, mini deck chairs, umbrellas. The all day elevensies went down well as we do like our tea and cakes! We all enjoyed the yoga class and pastry chef demonstration. The stand out event for all of us was having a sunset cocktail. As my mum had recently had a knee op, it was too far for her to walk so Lindsey offered to take us and pick us up which meant we could all enjoy it to the full. Lindsey was so lovely throughout and had such a good sense of humour and we all loved Anna too – so smiley and full of life – and her husband too but can’t remember his name. You have created something truly special and I would love to return again one day. Thank you so much for giving the 3 of us memories we will treasure forever! 💕

Such a lovely hotel and stay! All the staff I came across were really friendly and helpful, and made me feel welcome especially as I was staying there and eating alone (those staff included two blonde women on the front desk (sorry I remember their names or can't find their pics on the page!), Anna, Elton). The room (8) was perfect; appreciated the huge bath and bamford products, also really appreciate the nice tea bags and fresh milk. Dinner and breakfast were delicious. Am already recommending the hotel to others.
