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 perfect. We loved all the thoughtful touches – sleepy tea at night, glass of wine, tea and cake.

Really impressed with the decor generally and the bar / lounge was so comfortable

Breakfast was incredible – those sausages! Loved all the juices and breakfast pots.

Dinner was good, our mains was room temperature the first night (fish) so possibly the kitchen was struggling. 2nd night it was perfect.

Hotel staff were so friendly and helpful, a pure delight.

We will definitely come again!

From the moment I walked in early to the minute I left all of your staff were absolutely amazing to a solo traveller. Such warm lovely people really made me feel at home straight away. Sorry I can’t remember names but the bar man was great and the Lady in the spa and well everyone I met were great hosts and super accommodating. Everything was perfect – spa, food, the distance to the beach – it was all just what I needed. My only regret was that I only stayed for 1 day. Will return for sure.

Lovely relaxed vibe
Great pet friendly nature
It felt like we were the only people staying!
Really liked the crockery, cutlery, loved the glasses sparkling wine was served in
Hadn’t tried Gusborne before and really enjoyed it
The area of Camber seems a bit tired which is a shame but in the Gallivant bubble it was delightful!
Thank and well done and good luck with this crazy news world we live in!
