Army HIVE Christmas and New Year Closures

The majority of Army HIVEs will be closed after duties on Fri 19 Dec 25 and will reopen on Mon 5 Jan 26. There may be localised variations to these dates for individual HIVEs.

Army HIVE HQ is also closed during the festive fortnight, so any enquiries submitted via the ‘If you need further information’ MS Forms function on our UK, Cyprus or Overseas blogs will be answered when we return in the New Year.

We will periodically cover private messages on our Army HIVE Facebook platform (and X/Instagram where possible) whilst we are closed. However, this will not be 24/7 and should not be relied upon for anything that requires an urgent response.

To support our customers with more immediate requirements however, the Army HIVE HQ email will provide a comprehensive out of office autoreply, detailing points of contact that are either 24/7, emergency providers, or open over the festive leave fortnight. To receive this autoreply, please email:
RC-Pers-HIVEComms-0Mailbox@mod.gov.uk

Individual HIVEs will also provide localised contact details for Christmas and New Year cover wherever possible in their automated replies. Therefore, if you email your closest HIVE, which you can find on HIVE’s page on the Army website, their autoreply may be of additional assistance.

Army HIVE wishes all of its Service community customers, and our internal and external stakeholders, a very happy Christmas and New Year. We look forward to continuing our support and engagement in 2026.

Akrotiri Letters to Santa

 

 Last Call for Letters to Santa! 🎅
Ho ho ho! Make sure your Christmas wishes reach the North Pole in time! The official closing date for all letters to Santa is December 16th.
This special deadline ensures Santa has plenty of time to read every letter and send his personalized reply before the Big Day! It also gives his speedy delivery elves enough time to make their final stops before they're needed back at the North Pole for final preparations.
Don't delay! Get your letters posted before December 16th! 💌
​📮 Where to Post Your Letter:
​You can find the special postbox at: 2 Alexandra Hill
​📝 What to include in your letter:
​Santa needs a few important details to make sure he checks his list twice:
​Your Name
​Your Age
​Gender: (Boy, Girl, or neutral)
​Something Special You Have Achieved: (Did you help someone? Learn a new skill? Be extra brave?)
​Your Address (So Santa knows exactly where to find you!)
