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 had a lovely time thank you. Lovely comfortable rooms and we were lucky enough to have perfect weather.

We really enjoyed the food – more options than on our previous visit and all delicious. Slightly mystified about the fact that some options were on the essentials menu one night and then the very next night these same options had supplements!

Service in the main was really good – the waitress on breakfast service was really lovely, efficient and cheerful – dinner service a bit slow. I enjoyed the yoga sessions and thought India especially was a really great teacher.

We will be back but sadly we won't be able to use 20% discount you are offering as we are really busy over the next three months…..It's always nice to come to the amazing beach and our new dog really loved the sand dunes – you're right 'happiness is a place'. Thank you

Having booked our room last minute, we were unsure what to expect. From the moment we set foot in the door we absolutely loved the ambiance. The staff, decor and food were excellent. Our golden retriever was welcomed and well catered for. If we are visiting the area again we will definitely stay over. Perfect location for beach walks with our dog and for visiting Rye. Congratulations on your beautiful hotel.
