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.

What a special place to spend our anniversary weekend. We have left after 2 days feeling totally relaxed and rejuvenated. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcomed and at home by Lindsay. Such lovely gestures to acknowledge our anniversary and make us feel so special. The customer service is genuine, sincere and from the heart. Thank you Lindsay!
Thank you also to all the other members of the team who made our stay so memorable and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed; to Tiff, Oscar and Marian in the restaurant, Naketa and Muli at the front of house,Jonathan in the bar for superb cocktails and Jasmine too.
We really enjoyed the food. The seam bream was excellent and the tarte tatin flambeed at our table was really special. From our comfortable bed to the roll top bath and homely touches in our room we literally didn’t want to check-out. Everything had been carefully selected to create a quality, relaxed and comfortable environment. It was very much like the Danish philosophy of Hygge – ‘cosy happiness’.
Add to that the wonderful beach at Camber Sands and the proximity to Rye; all in all a fabulous location.
One idea for improvement would be a small fork for the 4pm cake. I really couldn’t think of anything else. We will definitely return. Thank you for a memorable stay. Jane and Chris
