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.

Anna – excellent at her job, warm and cheerful, made us feel like family.
Louisa – quiet, but very good, observant and quick to learn.
Jon – very knowledgeable, enjoyed our wine chats, a star.
We had 4 glorious days at The Gallivant, gorgeous room, and all the staff were very focused on customer service. We picked our top three, but Elton, Monty and Elizabeth also deserve a mention. Housekeeping was very good.
And finally, Jamie’s Rye Bay brill to share was absolutely delicious.
We could go on and on, but you know what you do well, so keep doing it. Thank you, Ian and Lesley x.

Hi Elise,

I can honestly say our stay with you was fantastic. I called to say we were going to be late on Friday and everyone was aware and very flexible. We didn't feel rushed, and I'm aware we were probably last to sit down for dinner. I don't know the name of the girl that was on reception and I can't find her on your site, but she was great.

The food throughout the weekend was really good. We were talking about which dish we liked best on Sunday and it was all really good. Great service from Corey, Lucy and Elton.

The room was perfect for a couple of nights and fitted in really well with the relaxed seaside feel.

One thing I was unsure about was having to book dinner and breakfast times in advance, but actually worked really well and gave us a little bit of structure.

I'd love to give you some constructive feedback, but I really can't fault it. We had a great time.

Thanks,
Tim.
