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 had a wonderful stay! From the minute we arrived we were taken care of and we just knew we were going to have a great stay! From the staff to the room to the food – everything was magnificent! We loved our dining experience. The food was delicious and the breakfasts were gorgeous! The ambience of the whole stay was fabulous and the staff couldn’t do enough for you! Lots of nice little touches too. A water bottle to refill as much as you like during your stay – a lovely hot night time soothing drink found in your room when you return after dinner Beach towels, wellies and dryrobes too! Camber beach is right across the road and the town centre of Rye is a 10 minute drive away! They really have thought of everything and we will definitely be back! Well done to all your wonderful staff!

What a magical three nights we spent at The Gallivant – the perfect space to relax, disconnect from real life, and enjoy the beautiful room, gardens and food that are in plentiful supply here. My husband and I visited in April 2025, at exactly the point we needed an escape, and it was perfect.

Particular thanks to Naketa who made our stay feel so welcoming and warm, and to the staff who looked after us at Harry’s on the first night of our stay.

Thank you The Gallivant – you came at just the right time for us.

We've just left a Google review, which pretty much says it all. We were blown away by The Gallivant. You have thought of everything a guest could need to make their stay comfortable and special without feeling stuffy. Mooly (I'm sure I've spelled that wrong – sorry!) was an absolute joy to interact with, as were all of the staff we encountered. We've already recommended you to several friends and we will hopefully be back again later in the year! See you then. Beccy & Tom.
