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.

Everything about the stay was so thought through! Having boots, blankets, water, drinks on the dunes available made time at the beach even better. The breakfast spread was beautiful. The St Emilion au chocolat was one of the best desserts I have ever had. Everyone working at the Gallivant was incredibly kind and helpful. I dream of coming back here for my birthday. Thank you for making my weekend so relaxing and rejuvenating.

We absolutely loved our time at The Gallivant. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. The little extra touches were fantastic too.. the boots for the beach, the tea and cake and the capability for us to bring our dog.
We will 100% return.
Having stayed in Rye before and Dungeness the location was perfect for us to visit both those areas, which we knew well.
Really enjoyable.
