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.

Hi Elise

Thanks for a great stay this week. We loved the hotel and will surely come back again soon. The team were accommodating to allow us an extra hour in our room on Friday – to allow for Storm Eunice.

One minor thing – most of the staff wore their masks around their necks. It's no longer mandatory for people to wear masks and it just draws attention to the fact that they're not wearing them properly. I suggest your team wear them properly or not at all

Thank you so much for a WONDERFUL honeymoon. We stayed for 5 nights and had a blissful time. It was so realising, loved the art work, great helpful and friendly staff. Really informative and fun wine tasting with Paul. Paul have great advice about visiting Gusbourne which we did and enjoyed immensely. We enjoyed the small touches like access to wellies, wine at 5 and the bedtime tea. The snug area in the reception is really cosy and great book selection. The food delicious the only tiny thing may be to add a breakfast dish to the menu that changes daily like dinner. all the staff were super attentive and kind.

We had a great first stay at the Gallivant. From the moment we arrived all staff, from the housekeeping team to front of house to bar staff, were very welcoming. The vibe was attentive but relaxed. The room was compact but clean and stylish. We loved the communal spaces and enjoyed the English wine tasting. Special mentions to Becky, for fitting us into the wine tasting after the knife skills was cancelled; Daisy, for a fantastic massage; Dan, for just being a smiling presence; Corey, for great service at dinner, Paul for drinks advice and finding an alternative cheese; Monty, for a warm welcome and helpful check out, and Naketa for her warm presence at breakfast.
