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.

Our stay was so excellent, I loved every moment of it and my only complaint is that it was too short.

The staff were so fantastic, I do not want to name them individually because to do so would be unfair on the 1-2 names that I have unfortunately forgotten but just as much contributed to the amazing stay.

The room was gorgeous, so considered and detailed. Also whilst this, of course, could not have been intentional; I am a filmmaker and so was delighted to find a copy of 501 must see movies in my room! We turned it into a game and tried to guess as many films as possible that were in there.

On the topic of games we also loved how well-stocked the lounge was. The cocktail names escape me but I thoroughly enjoyed the two elderflower ones! Tiniest of critiques that doesn’t impact my score at all; as part of the complete package we had “wine at 5” and I think it would be helpful to clarify what this is. With the advertised one hour window, our assumption wasn’t that it would’ve been a single glass of wine each! So just some clarity on the information given online on that would be fab.

I don’t know how much more I can say here other than the Michelin guide key (which I was not aware of prior) is so well deserved. Have already started shouting about The Gallivant to my friends and hope a future stay awaits me in the future.
