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.

ALL the thank yous to everyone at The Gallivant for the most wonderfully special few days! I was lucky enough to spend my 50th birthday with you and, from the lovely cheery welcome to the beautifully appointed and spotless bedroom (with it's gorgeous birthday card and treat) to the fabulous dinner to the continued smiley personal service and everything else…there is nothing which could have been better – you even managed to get the sun to shine for me!

From the moment we arrived at the Gallivant in West Sussex, we knew we were in for something special. nestled in the picturesque countryside, this charming coastal retreat exceeded all expectations and provided a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the outset.

Every detail was thought of, from the lovely little touches in our room to the personal attention we received throughout our stay. Our room was beautifully decorated, with a serene and calming ambiance that made it the perfect haven to unwind after a day of exploration.

The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the dining experience. The food at the Gallivant is nothing short of outstanding. With locally sourced ingredients and a menu that beautifully reflects the best of the British cuisine, each meal was a delight for the senses.

The location is also ideal for those looking to enjoy the surroundings of West Sussex. Whether you are looking to explore the nearby beaches, taking scenic walks or simply relaxing in the garden, The Gallivant offers a serene and tranquil setting for anyone looking to unwind and recharge.

Overall, our stay at the Gallivant was truly unforgettable. The combination of exceptional service, stunning surroundings & delicious food. We cannot recommend it enough & we can't wait to return!!
