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.

Hello Elise and Team

Another wonderful stay at The Gallivant (now my third). As always, all the staff were wonderful. Special thanks to Georgie, Paige and Naketa and before the stay Agnes – always cheery and helpful with arrangements.

Can I also add Kieran to the list – he was delight at breakfast on my previous stay (23-25 March). I didn't know his name until now.

Thanks again to you all. I'll be back for sure. Would like to add that I come back due to the staff and the service. You have a great team.

Best wishes

We had a great stay – everything about the place works, the atmos is very calming (we chilled out almost instantly), the decor is done so well, the food and drink were great too, and the staff were excellent.
The longer I stayed there and took in whats been done, the more I appreciated it (done so tastefully, and I cant think I've been anywhere like it in the UK).
We will be back, and I'm looking forward to the new place at Littlestone opening.
Regards,

This was our second stay at The Gallivant, and we were thrilled to discover that it is still a perfect place for a weekend get-away, or for any other kind of get-away come to that. Our room was stylish, wonderfully comfortable and came with everything we might need, including a good selection of books, a pack of playing cards and a set of dominoes in case we ran out of other things to do (not very likely). The staff were lovely – cheerful, friendly, and helpful (without being intrusive) and the food was delicious, with some interesting combinations, and a strong focus on local produce which is great. Overall, a welcoming and relaxing place to stay – and as you can probably tell, high on our list of favourites!

Gosh, where to start? For 24 wonderful hours we have just escaped from ‘the real word’ and have been cosseted by a fabulous team of people in surroundings that made me feel even more at home than our home!! You’ve created a superb environment; meticulous design with great attention to detail…..almost ‘womb like’! Nico and the kitchen team have produced for us some exceptionally enjoyable meals which really promote the seasonality and local availability of produce. Last nights dinner was possibly THE best and perfectly cooked steak I’ve eaten with a fresh salsa sauce – what a winning combo!!
Of course, it is all about the team who created the atmosphere and environment. From the minute we walked through the door (sounds like a song?) Lindsay, Nikita, George, Tim and Hamish could not do enough for us and of course Ralph our dog. Wonderful people who work together to produce a wonderful experience. To the rest of the hotel team (servers, housekeeping, kitchen and grounds) you are also unsung heroes as everywhere was just a joy to behold.
I felt quite sad leaving you this morning! We both commented that we felt as though we’d been away a lot longer than just a short 24 hours. We will look forward to our return, as will Ralph!
Our only comment that we felt we could suggest for improvement is the provision of USB sockets in the bedroom for phone charging. Although we did bring a plug with us, it would be good to have sockets by the bed for charging. Otherwise, just brilliant! Thank you to everyone – you’re all complete STARS!
