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.

A wonderful hotel, right by the beach. Very cosy and comfortable with a great lounge, lovely bar, great food, really comfy beds, lovely bathroom and room decor. The staff were all amazing and I was left with a great customer experience. I travelled alone for this trip and felt very safe. There are some lovely little touches. I will definitely be going back…

We loved our stay at the Gallivant the staff were so friendly and helpful. Food was fabulous and Paul made the gin and wine tasting great fun.

Some minor things that could have improved stay and might be helpful for future guests:
No USB plugs in room.
Flush in room 17 tricky
Plug in sink allows water to drain.
We would have liked small bar of soap in bathroom.
Lighting outside on path to room poor.

We had a brilliant time, could not have asked for a nicer stay all staff was helpful. Food was excellent, and we look forward to visiting again. One of many people that stood out was India who took us on a meditative walk on the beach.

It was so wonderfully relaxing staying at the Gallivant! Special mention to Lindsay for being so friendly and kind- and for sorting us out with an upgrade, which was a fantastic start to the holiday. We really appreciated all the special little touches (like the night time tea), the quality of the facilities and the surroundings and the food. My husband is vegetarian and it was great that the options available for him for dinner were both tasty and varied (and that staff remembered!). A really great find and we're recommending it to everyone.

Really lovely hotel, loved the bedroom decor, comfy bed and friendly staff. Dinner and breakfast were tasty. The bedroom pictures on the website don’t really match the real thing so that was a bit confusing. Really enjoyed the cake and sleepy tea. We didn’t book the all inclusive so didn’t think we got the activities for free but then all the paperwork in the room said they were free for overnight guests so that was also a bit confusing . We didn’t have much time spare for these unfortunately otherwise would have asked a member of staff.

Overall very good 👍
