The Gallivant Camber Sands, a boutique adults-only property located a short journey from historic Rye, has recently appointed Conor Sheehan as its new hotel manager. Conor’s journey in the hospitality industry began at Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen, where he worked his way through the ranks before assuming a variety of leadership roles across some of the most recognised and celebrated hospitality brands in the industry.

Assuming responsibility for The Gallivant’s operational running, Conor’s expertise, dedication to and personal interest in the food and beverage industry will see him collaborate closely with The Gallivant’s head chef, Nico Fitzgerald, to enhance the restaurant’s local and national standing. Working closely with founder and owner Harry Cragoe, Conor’s strategic vision for The Gallivant involves refining service standards, restructuring the menu with a continued focus on local suppliers, and enhancing the team’s wine knowledge. Conor’s long-standing championing of English wines and wine tourism aligns seamlessly with the property’s latest partnership announcement with Gusbourne Wine Estate, solidifying The Gallivant’s position as the gateway to English wine.

Why more couples are choosing whole-house weddings over traditional venues

Celebrant vs registrar vs humanist celebrant: What's the difference? Ceremony Master explains...

Modern wedding rituals revealed as Brits bury sausages for the big day

For decades, the British wedding has followed a well-known rulebook of etiquette, from formal seating plans to three tier cakes.

The study of 1,500 Brits reveals that authenticity is winning over tradition. Six in ten (59%) believe a wedding should be a true reflection of the couple's personalities, even if it means breaking classic wedding etiquette. To ensure their day feels truly unique, many are turning to unconventional superstitions and spiritual services. Over one in five (22%) Brits said they have buried or would consider burying a sausage to guarantee good weather on their wedding day.
