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 loved our stay. The room was delightful and well equipped; the service was excellent, especially waitress Lucy at dinner who was very informative and witty and the quick hop across the road to the beach made things just perfect. The food both at breakfast and dinner was beautifully prepared and delicious.
2 very minor niggles were that we couldn’t get the radio to work and the cups for hot drinks without handles were tricky to hold when hot!! Otherwise everything was terrific and we are already looking forward to our next visit!!

Positives:
Beautiful decor, perfectly suited to a relaxing stay.
Everything very well kept, no signs of tiredness. The proprietors clearly have an obsessive attention to detail.
Outstanding food, in taste and presentation.
Excellent selection of quality drinks.
Elevenses Table makes the hotel feel like home – nice touch.
Quality fixtures and fittings and consumables (soap, etc.).
Virtually no negatives:
Could do with another staff member in the sitting and dining rooms for more attentive/personal service.
No-one here when we arrived, to provide a welcome and intro to the hotel, which didn’t start the stay off well…
Overall, exceeded our expectations by a long way.

I had a really lovely stay at The Gallivant, it was just what I needed and an ideal place to recharge my batteries and have some time for myself. The staff are all very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The yoga classes were really enjoyable. Wine O’clock is a really great idea. There’s lots of little touches that make the difference to this little gem and my room was really cosy. I would be very happy to return and recommend to others…it was in fact a recommendation that led me to stay here.

Only thing I would say which is very minor, was that stayed for 3 nights and it would have been nice to have a little more variety on the menu albeit I do understand most people probably tend to stay for a shorter length of time.

Many thanks, all the best.

Beautiful rooms , lovely service and great food . Lindsay and Chrystal were very welcoming and handled my cancelled spa booking very well offering me a Sunday option. Unfortunately I had an allergic reaction so I was quite poorly on Saturday, Lindsay was very kind and helpful and by the time I emerged on Saturday night for a plate of chips and a coke , the restaurant staff could not have been more charming . The whole design of the hotel and rooms are so clever , like a mini soho house but cosier, so clever . Amazing cocktails !
