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.

I had the most wonderful stay with you last week. I enjoyed it so much that I extended my stay by an extra day. Every member of the staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. In particular, Georgina, whom I interacted with the most, was a delight. I found the gardens to be perfectly manicured with many opportunities to sit and read. And, the food was exceptional. I had dined every night and was very satisfied. The only glitch was taxi availability. I didn't have a car and getting a taxi was quite tricky. I realize this is out of your control. Said that, I was driven to the train station on the day of my departure by the resident manager of "happiness" which was not only generous but was a testament your excellent customer service. I can't wait to return.

We had such a lovely stay – it really is a gem. Felt comfortable and stylish, but not in anyway pretentious.

All the staff stood one, especially a newer blonde lady on reception. Such a kind and helpful person!

There was a misunderstanding with the U30 rate on website, but the general manager was so great at dealing with it. She listed to the issue and solved very professionally. You can tell she really cares about the place :).

Would love to come again!
