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.

It's difficult to single out anyone we met during our second stay at The Gallivant. They have the best team of any hotel we've stayed at. Great service from Louisa, Jonathan, Monty, and a nice cheerful greeting from Carolyn in the corridor! Naketa gave us a great welcome and showed us to our beautiful room and it was great to chat to Paul B – he really knows the local scene and wines. And of course Elton, who is a star and remembered us from our stay last summer. We will be back.

We had a truly WONDERFUL stay – it was so relaxing and we were very impressed with both the place and the staff.

Room was excellent – decor original and interesting and overall ambiance totally delightful. We will certainly come again in a few months time.

All staff were attentive and professional but the two who we interacted with most deserve a special mention – Elton and Crystal.

Only one tiny detail that I’d have found helpful …, some easy way of removing the sleepy tea bag from my cup at nighttime when the string fell in ! 🙏🏻- maybe a little wooden stirrer stick or recyclable bamboo tea spoon ?

But TOP marks on all counts. LOVED it all !
