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.

The Galivant really is a unique hidden gem.
2023 has been the toughest and most challenging year yet as my wife has been very poorly so we booked an escape away on Thursday 13th December to unwind and breathe in the ocean air.
We could not have found a more beautiful place to recharge and reset and the staff went above and beyond to provide an exceptional service making us feel like the only guests in the world.
Hamesh met us at reception and was a pleasure to deal with as so hospitable, calm and kind. What a lovely genuine chap and a credit to the Galivant. Kerry was looking after us at the bar and in the restaurant and again such a kind lovely lady who clearly had fallen in love with this special beautiful place. The cherry on the cake was meeting Nico who delivered the best 3 x courses we have ever had and really brought home that cooking is an expression of love and you can see and taste that in his dishes. Nico even took the time to meet us and share some of his experiences.
You could just tell how passionate the staff are about the Galivant and all proud to work at this unique place and this shone through by the service provided. We even met the beautiful cocker spaniel pup Copper. The Galivant staff provide a first class service which is full of kindness and love.
The location is also spectacular and walking along the beach seeing the sun rise after a beautiful fresh breakfast is memories me and my wife will have and treasure forever.
The Galivant holds a special place in our hearts as was the perfect retreat and getaway after a long tough year and we definitely left this place feeling stronger, more positive and ready to embrace life and create many more magical memories in 2024.
Thank you so much Hamesh, Kerry, Nico, Copper and all the wonderful staff at the Galivant and you will definitely see us return in 2024 with our cocker Soanirl. We have already started spreading the word as I know our friends and family will be as equally impressed with this hidden treasure. Merry Christmas all and see you in 2024. Thank you

We loved our stay at The Gallivant so much! Everything about it was perfect. They were so welcoming and friendly. Our room was immaculate and the food and drinks 10/10. Would recommend going during the festive period as it was so cosy with the tree and fire etc and not that busy. Would 100% come again!

I had a lovely stay with you for my Son’s wedding. The venue looked amazing and really added to the magical experience of a Christmas wedding. The room was very clean and the bed really comfy. The little added touches of water and chocolate were appreciated too. All of the staff that attended to me and the other guests were very friendly, helpful and made the day very special. I hope to visit for a longer stay next year. I would really recommend a stay with you and definitely recommend a wedding, thank you all.
