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 had an amazing two days at the Gallivant. We ran a two day offsite for our Emmi clients and I have to say, we were blown away by EVERYTHING.
The staff – Becky, Anna, Monty and Steven could not have been more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to help us and make sure we had everything we needed. What was really lovely is that their personalities really shone through and in the days that we were there we felt we really got to know them as people. If happiness is a place, then it's a place with them in it.

The hotel itself is amazing. Great decor, the meeting room was brilliant and the rooms were perfect. The bed sheets so soft and that's the best night's sleep that I've ever had in a hotel!

We had delicious lunches (fishfingers sandwiches, lamb wraps and amazing slaws and lentil salads) which were standout. Dinner was delicious too and breakfast.

And thank you for the water bottles and the water filling station. A lovely touch!

We had a brilliant stay and next time we are asked to facilitate an offsite meeting for a client we will definitely recommend. Plus we will recommend to any friends too!

Thank you for a great couple of days.

We have just returned from a wonderful stay here. The hotel itself is extremely comfortable and well-thought through, from all the little touches (like a bed time herbal sleepy tea and hot flask draped in a bag from a hook by your door in the evening and five o"clock wine time) to the important ones like the bed, linen, cleanliness and decor.
There are vintage bathing suits in frames all around the hotel walls and all kinds of unusual paraphernalia, books and games to use dotted about.
The food is outstanding and the menu itself very interesting, using locally sourced ingredients. All the staff are knowledgeable and want to help with local information or anything else you might want.
I would like to mention some excellent personnel. Corey gave us a great welcome and showed us around initially. Lucy served our food and always gave great advice. Anna was our lovely breakfast waitress – and she is a joy. I was lucky enough to have a superb massage with Aimee, who made me feel very relaxed. I also had expert yoga instruction from India, Juliet and Sally in the well-equipped studio. I even had a one-on-one session with Sally, as the others did not appear, which was a real treat.
I know this sounds like I am being paid, but I'm just a normal punter who had a lovely time in The Gallivant.
