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.

Our first visit to The Gallivant and spending Christmas away. We received a very warm welcome from Moolie who ensured our check in went smoothly. The ambience of The Gallivant is perfect, we felt very much at home and nothing was too much trouble. The furnishings and decor and the log fire make it a wonderful place to relax.

We very much appreciated the fruit bowl and walnuts to crack. It was like spending Christmas in a beautiful country home rather than a hotel. The opportunity to do a morning yoga class is a great idea and Melanie is an excellent teacher.

We were in a snug cabin, having booked late but didn’t find it too small. The space has been used well and the ability to make a tea or coffee was great.

The food was excellent throughout we really couldn’t fault it.

The evening bed turndown service was a nice surprise with sleepy tea and a flask of hot water left for us along with a little treat each evening.

We loved sitting in the snug lounge and playing the many games on offer. Listening to the pianist on Boxing Day afternoon was blissful.

I can’t really think of anything you could do to improve the experience. It really exceeded any expectations we had. All the staff were amazing, and work as a team which is important when it’s busy but nothing felt rushed, they were calm and courteous and friendly.

Thank you for giving us a perfect Christmas and to Lindsey for taking the time to show us one of your luxury garden rooms before we left – one to try next time.

If happiness is a place, then this is definitely it.
