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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Gallivant. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The food and drinks were excellent. We especially enjoyed our gorgeous room with the attached terrace and enclosed garden. Our dog typically sleeps very lightly and wakes us up often on trips, whenever she hears other guests or unfamiliar sounds. On this trip she did not bark once in the night and slept soundly, thanks to the super quiet and calm atmosphere. Camber itself is of course beautiful and the day trip to Rye was a lovely addition to our holiday.

Having flown across the pond to visit family in London, we were drawn to experience the English seaside. Told that Rye has a fabulous beach, we searched for a hotel that both we and the family dog would enjoy, and found The Gallivant. It proved to be both dog and human heaven! Our room opened to a beautiful garden, and was just as lovely inside, complete with a dog bed that our Corgi settled into instantly. We felt immediately at home, greeted so warmly by all the staff who made a genuine fuss over our dog. We had wonderful meals in the dining room and terrace, chatting to some of the guests. And spent glorious hours walking the dog-friendly side of Camber Beach, just across the street, both at low tide and high tide. All in all, a wonderful experience filled with memories to savour.

We had a wonderful stay with you. Our room was gorgeous and the attention to detail was exceptional. We had most contact with Moulie (?) who was very helpful and a delight. The food was delicious and breakfast was amazing. The breakfast tray was a clever idea so you didn’t need to keep getting up and down to get what you wanted. You could have provided us with better weather ! Although the thunderstorms were exciting ! Thank you for a memorable break.
