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 the most amazing new years stay at the Gallivant and were hugely impressed by the lovely friendly staff, special thanks have to go to Lyndsay for being outstanding in every way! All the staff were superb and all were so friendly and welcoming to us and our flat coat retriever Harry who I think many of them fell in love with!!
We will definitely be back!! Only one thought for the rooms , an espresso machine would be a welcome addition! We loved the rooms and particularly liked the pretty outdoor space you have created !
Also very much enjoyed the yoga this morning!
So a fantastic start to 2026 for us , and we will definitely visit you again ❤️

We’ve stayed in a few different hotels at Christmas over the years and this was our favourite.
The hotel is very well run and the staff were excellent and were keen to ensure that we were happy with everything. Sometimes people working at Christmas don’t look too happy about it but there was no sense of that at all at the Gallivant. Every member of the team was friendly and relaxed.
The food was extremely good and the chef friendly and approachable.
We definitely intend to come back again.
