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 had an absolutely fantastic stay at the Gallivant! First impressions are everything – being greeted at the front door of the hotel by the team (and not seeing them standing behind a desk) immediately made me feel welcome.

Lindsay, Head of Rooms and Residents optimises the hotels theme of "happiness" with her infectious smile and eagerness to make your stay special.

I could not fault the hotel itself, the rooms are beautifully designed with all the little touches that you would expect and the open spaces are warm, well lit and again beautifully decorated. The themes of "cake time" and "wine at five" really encourage you to relax in the main bar area and are a fantastic opportunity to sample local English wine.

The evening meal at Harry's was delicious, Sophie was so friendly and attentive. To top it all off, I enjoyed a very relaxing morning yoga session with India and a ginger shot to start my day, the perfect 24 hours!

The Gallivant really is special, whether you're sitting by the fire hiding from the rain or returning after a long walk on the beach it is full of cosiness.

We loved our stay – thank you so much. I've got a terrible memory for names but the lovely woman who welcomed us on Tuesday night was fantastic – as was everyone in fact. We really loved the hotel and will be back. Thanks for everything. (Breakfast especially appreciated by my 19year old daughter)

My son held his wedding at this hotel and it was truly wonderful. We stayed 2 nights and the rooms were perfect – comfortable beds, a lovely door on to a patio and the hotel garden; the bathroom was also perfect (very rare in my experience) – fabulous shampoo, showergel and lotion – a place to hang towels and an excellent shower tho being a short person I would like a lower shower head as well as the top one.
The breakfast was incredible and plentiful.
All the staff were fantastic and welcoming throughout our whole stay – esp Lindsay and Agnes (who I had a lot to do with sorting a few things out for the wedding) – so calm and helpful and supportive. The food was delicious and the service incredible.
I love the games provided and the seating in the lounge/bar area is so comfortable. Plus the thoughtful provision of foot wear and blankets etc for the dunes opposite.
All in all a wonderful experience – and for a perfect wedding.
