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.

Thanks so much! We loved it – so cosy and the breakfast was top tier. Talia was great at dinner, too. We hope we'll be back in 2025 🙂

We can’t fault any part of our stay, it was perfect! The staff were all so welcoming and friendly. Our room was lovely and clean and I loved all the Bamford products, the facilities were also excellent!

I hadn’t realised that we booked the complete Gallivant so that was a lovely surprise when we arrived! All the bits you get with it make such a difference (especially when you’re not expecting it!). The food was fab, especially the breakfast, we really liked the tray idea and making your own dippy eggs – it felt really healthy.

We’ll definitely be coming to stay again in the warmer months and will make sure to bring our dog next time!

Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We absolutely loved it here and are already planning our next trip! The staff were exceptionally helpful, especially when we first arrived and were so incredibly welcoming. The guy who greeted us (we didn’t ask his name annoyingly) was so kind and helpful, and made such a fuss of our dog, Isla, which was very thoughtful and made us feel right at home. The whole atmosphere is insanely relaxing, calming and cosy – especially with the tasteful Christmas decorations. The food was out of this world, as was the wine selection and morning yoga was the cherry on the top. The proximity to the beach is just incredible and so the Gallivant is easily top of our list for our favourite hotels. Big thanks to the whole team and we’ll see you again soon!
