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.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Gallivant and wished we'd booked a little longer. The room was much bigger than we'd anticipated and all the extra touches such as the wine hour, elevenses and bedtime brew were really appreciated. Everyone we spoke to was wonderfully welcoming – Corey greeted us and was completely charming. We didn't catch the names of the sommelier and the lovely lady who served us at breakfast on Friday morning but they stood out as well. Have already recommended The Gallivant to a friend and pretty sure we'll be returning too. Thank you!

My husband, myself and our dog, white boxer Ludo, have just spent a lovely couple of days at the Gallivant. We are really impressed with the quality of the hotel and restaurant! A wonderfully relaxed yet professional atmosphere and lovely little touches like the tea at nighttime and the shower products in the room. From the moment we entered, the staff were so friendly and warm, Crystal took good care of us to begin with. And I want to give a big shout out to Lucy in the restaurant and the kitchen team for being reassuringly knowledgable and allowing me all the taste sensations I did. Being celiac, dairy free and soy free is annoying for eating out and often the choices are limited, if any. I hate to fuss, and there was no fuss! Just willingness to help me enjoy the amazing food. I am really grateful for that. This was also Ludo’s first hotel stay and he received lots of compliments on being calm and relaxed. Much of that was down to the environment I’m certain, and if my dog is happy, so am I! Thank you team Gallivant.

Wow! What an amazing experience your team gave us over the last couple of days for our spontaneous break. Everything was perfect from start to finish. You really do have a special bunch of people working at the Galivant. Naketa was delightful on the phone taking the booking. Monty and Paul gave us a warm welcome and made us feel super relaxed and looked after within minutes of arriving and away from our stressful lives. Our lunch served by Elton was delicious with two of the best bloody mary's we've ever had. Dinner was a treat served by lovely Lucy, whose enthusiasm for the food was infectious. It was also a delight to meet Lindsay and talk dogs! And finally being served breakfast this morning by Anna and her wonderful smile was the best end to our perfect mini break. My husband has asked if we can move in! Can't wait to come back xxxx

The is was our 5th time at The Gallivant over 6 years and it’s been yet another wonderful break. We have seen the service improve each time we visit. Being gluten free due to a serious illness I have seen your dietary requirements improve by offering more choice each time we visit too. It almost feels unfair to pick out individuals who have been outstanding as everyone is lovely however we would like to mention:
Naketa- warm, friendly and engaging. The dog misses her already!
Carey: down to earth yet professional in every way
Anna: as always making breakfast a wonderful experience
Carolyn: every morning a lovely smile greeting us

We can’t wait to be back again soon.
