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.

Yoga – loved it.

Location – amazing.

Food – was the only thing we felt could be better. Hard to find something we wanted. The combinations of ingredients were unusual and lacked flavour. We found the food bland and disappointing.

We would stay again but not eat there again.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay, extremely relaxing, thank you. The lounge, bar, restaurant and the room were utterly gorgeous and very inviting. Food and drink excellent, all staff extremely friendly and helpful. We loved it. Also loved the special little touches like handwritten welcome note, provision of wellies etc.

Anna was especially friendly at breakfast and remembered our request for soya milk.

To achieve absolute perfection there are a few tiny things I noticed:
– room 19 – inside wardrobes could be dusted better.
– offer of firmer (memory foam perhaps) pillows would be welcomed
– room 19 – drains really gurgled in the shower after flushing the loo and also didn’t smell amazing.
– A shame there is not a dual flush to save water.
– room 19 the ‘single’ wardrobe light sensor is not fitted correctly so it does not turn off when the door shuts and remains constantly on
– bubble bath and/or salts would be very welcomed!
– restaurant ladies loos – the wall hung toilets are set far too low / close to the floor so are very very uncomfortable to sit on.
– lounge games lovely but both sets of the connect 4 are missing pieces (and the colour difference between the two players is not pronounced enough to play in low lighting!)

We had a wonderful time, thank you so much!
