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.

It was my first time at Camber Sands, Rye, and It was a solo trip, and oh my god, I'm so happy I picked to stay here, it was absolutely perfect. Not only is the hotel stunning, it feels like your cosy home, but the staff make it even better, so welcoming and helpful. The room was perfect, had my little garden, it was just perfect. The hotel being only a 5 min walk from the beach really helped, and it added so much to the hotel as well. Breakfast was just what I needed after my yoga session.

I can't thank the team enough for making my solo trip perfect for me – it means a lot.

I can't wait to be back! Thank you so much.

Our first stay at the Gallivant. High room standard, very friendly and efficient staff, they went the extra mile with service/ information. Lindsay was absolutely first class. Food (breakfast and dinner) was very good, served in a lovely setting with a very pleasant atmosphere. There were also quite a few nice well thought out little touches (eg afternoon cake!).
In summary, we had a great stay, and will come back again.

We stayed for 2 nights at The Gallivant a week ago and would highly recommend it. The room was very comfortable and quiet. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive and all worked well together to make our stay relaxing. We loved the snug area with the photo albums, books and interesting artefacts. We'll be back hopefully.
