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 thoroughly enjoyable stay at the stylish Gallivant.
The atmosphere is calming with friendly staff who all went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and special. Great consideration has been given to the beautiful interiors with just the perfect levels of lighting and music. Artwork by local artists and historical swimsuits adorn the tastefully decorated rooms and beautiful natural gardens flow into relaxing seating areas. Breakfast was served perfectly on the patio by Georgina. With Camber sands across the road, historical Rye nearby and a visit to Tellinger winery for lunch the Gallivant is perfect for a few nights away.

Just by chance I found this little gem as I browsed the internet in desperate need of a break. Thank goodness I did. I cannot fault the hotel or staff. The rooms were clean, food excellent, standards high, atmosphere relaxing. The hotel goes the extra mile from beach blankets, to refreshments packed and ready to take to the dunes a stone throw away, wellies to borrow, yoga on the beach, star gazing from the personal outside space accompanying your room, to spa moments! and wine list to keep you going for weeks !!! An absolute must for those needing a complete escape.

I will be returning for another totally blissful me time holiday.

Thank you to all staff for making my stay one to never forget.

A beautiful boutique hotel with a real charm, quirky interior and stunning gardens. The staff are supper friendly and everything is on hand from deck chairs to wellies, to dog biscuits, towels, water bottles and beach bags.
The attention to detail is amazing.
The food was delicious and the bed was super comfy.
We will be recommending to all our friends.
Thank you for a great stay!

Hi Team Gallivant.

I was looked after magnificently with delicious food and wine while enjoying your lovely garden.

The room was very comfortable and I liked you booklets with local info.

I also had a lovely sunny walk along the beach.

I am looking forward to seeing what you are doing with the hotel in Littlestone.

Thank you to all of you who went above and beyond to keep me happy.
