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 really enjoyed our stay thank you. The things that stood out were our dining experiences and the friendliness and quality of all of your staff.

Of particular note:
We had the sharing porterhouse steak on Tuesday and turbot on Wednesday. Both were cooked absolutely perfectly and tasted wonderful. A particular shout out to Daniel (sous chef) who brought our fish out to us on Wednesday and described how it had been prepared.
Our waiter on both nights was also fabulous (I don't know his name….he said he'd been working at the Gallivant for 7 days….but you wouldn't have known….he was very efficient and seemed very knowledgeable about the menu etc.).
We also really enjoyed chatting to Ludo who served us our wine on Tuesday and allowed us to taste a few other local wines, e.g. Oxney. My husband is a huge wine enthusiast (WSET Level 3 :)) and it was great to have someone so knowledgeable to offer some thoughts to us.
Anna is so friendly and enthusiastic about the breakfasts – what a great morning person!

All together a very positive experience.

Actually 4.5 stars but can’t do that!!! Lovely stay with you for our short break. Hotel was great, room (upgraded😀) spacious and very tastefully decorated. You were full of nice touches to make our stay even nicer – for example welcome biscuits in the room, drift off tea time and wine tasting. All really goes into a good experience. Staff attentive and helpful no issues at all. Like the informal set up.

One thing. Food. Breakfast is too elaborate for us. After a great sophisticated dinner we Could have done with simple, traditional hot options for those who like a staple start to the day…no everyone wants haute cuisine all the time.

Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Thanks again
