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.

My daughter and I had a fabulous time. We loved the beachy chic vibe and all the thoughtful touches such night time tea, beach towels, wellies, elevenses. The food was amazing – we love a small, thoughtful, local menu. Two staff who stood out for us were Daisy in the spa and India in the yoga studio, however everyone we encountered was unfailingly polite and friendly. It was a glorious mother-daughter weekend, made especially wonderful by our stylish surroundings and great food.

I was so well taken care of at The Gallivant – from providing me with a toothbrush to driving me to the train station to catch my train. It was so easy to relax there and I loved the little treats of elevenses and the 5pm wine. Thank you so much! I can't wait to come back 🙂

This was out third visit to the Gallivant . We were lucky to have the most beautiful January weather . As always the service , food & wines were excellent. We thought the additional pricing for the shared dinner dishes were expensive but we avoided these! It was good to see a change to the meat choice day on day , a similar change to the fish would have been welcome but the John Dory was absolutely delicious. This time we were celebrating my wife’s Birthday and the various recognitions of this were much appreciated. Anna remains a wonderful breakfast host & Elton looked after us very well but all the staff were friendly, helpful & welcoming. The room (19) was immaculate. Michael

The food was absolutely incredible.

We did have an issue on the second night of our stay in that the lock on our door broke but Krystle (Chrystal?) was fantastic and she sorted everything with the minimum of fuss. Please thank her from me and please know that she is such an asset to your team – helpful, friendly and calm.

What an incredible hotel. Thank you so much everyone.
