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.

Cozy, welcoming, friendly and helpful staff, amazing food and comfortable rooms.
We loved the relaxing atmosphere and felt 'at home' as soon as we arrived.
There were several unique formats, i.e. the breakfast, wine at five, wellies, beach bags and towels being easily available.
Thank you all.

We visited the Gallivant as a treat for a special birthday and from the start to the end of our stay, we felt incredibly looked after. We were welcomed warmly with tea and cake, personally shown around the beautiful lounge area and then taken to our cosy and gorgeously decorated room. Every detail had been thought through.
The cocktails were delicious, dinner was spectacular and it’s the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had!
The shower was wonderful and we slept like logs. An amazing location so close to the beach too.
We left feeling both utterly relaxed and very sorry to have only stayed one night. Would (and will) recommend in a heartbeat
