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.

Thank you for taking such good care of us. We arrived freezing cold, upset and soaked to the skin having cycled from Appledore through a storm. The reception staff quickly got us settled in our beautiful room and kindly offered to tumble dry my husband’s only top. The 5pm wine was a lovely experience with skilful service and excellent recommendations and the quality of our dinner and breakfast (thank you for the cheerful service Anna) was simply outstanding. Completely sublime plates. It is clear the whole Gallivant team are happy and real professionals. The nighttime tea service was a lovely, thoughtful touch. Lastly I’d like to recognise the two staff members who helped us at checkout. Again quick and friendly and then bringing round our bikes that had been carefully stored in the maintenance shed for us. The gardens were gorgeous, even strolling to and from the restaurant was calming and really reminded us of our time living in California. We won’t hesitate to recommend The Gallivant to friends and family, it was an absolute treat for a night away. Thank you all! Ps only request is please I stall a bike rack!

Lovely staff, lovely food, lovely bedroom, lovely spot. Would recommend. Also love the reusable water bottles and refill stations for water. You could lose the single use coffee cups though, no one needs those! And as a vegan i would have loved more choice of food as we stayed two nights, but the food we did have was wonderful! Thank you.
