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 really enjoyed our stay at The Gallivant. The room was lovely and clean, the staff welcoming and our dog was made to feel very at home (she particularly enjoyed the treats by the front door!). We loved the breakfast table, the freshly cooked eggs and toast made a refreshing change from the usual hotel fare, and the continental breakfast tray was also delicious.

For the first time, we had Sunday lunch at Harry's. Every course was delicious. Smoked cod's roe, roast beef with all the trimmings and a sublime praline dessert. We couldn't fault it!
Lovely rooms, dog friendly and we love the style of breakfast offered. So much more interesting than 'full english'
Thank you and see you next time!

This was our 4th visit to The Gallivant – and we have loved it so much, we sent my parents there as well!
The setting is spectacular and the service matches that. The food is excellent and the staff are relaxed but attentive and friendly but unobtrusive.
It is for sure our UK home from home.
Many thanks
