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.

Bravery, brilliance & battles of every kind – only on BFBS TV! - 6-12/12/2025


Your weekly guide to the must-see TV across all the channels provided by BFBS. Full listings can be found on our website














Movies This Week

Grab some Popcorn

A BFBS Extra Premiere for you, 25 years after the original Woodsboro killings, a new Ghostface begins targeting teens connected to the town's dark past in Scream.
Knives Out is on Channel 4 on Saturday. When renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey is found dead, the inquisitive and debonair Detective Benoit Blanc is enlisted to investigate.

Extra brings you some Christmas classics this week.

Christmas Creature Feature, Gremlins is a Christmas must watch, as is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, where the Griswold family's plans for a big family Christmas predictably turn into a big disaster.

Krampus offers some holiday horror, when a boy who has a bad Christmas accidentally summons a festive demon to his family home.

But if you prefer something less festive catch the J.J. Abrams film Super 8, during the summer of 1979, a group of friends witness a train crash and investigate subsequent unexplained events in their small town.

All this and so much more, this week on BFBS TV.
