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.

Located in the heart of Cornwall and set on a stunning country estate, Hengar Manor occupies the grounds of a 35-acre country estate and is a great location from which to explore the delights of North Cornwall. With the rolling hills of Bodmin Moor nearby and the popular seaside towns of Port Isaac and Padstow a short distance away, it is easy to see why we are such a popular choice for a Cornwall holiday.

Brynteg Country and Leisure Retreat, North Wales– sleeps up to 6 people

Perfectly placed in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, our Brynteg Country & Leisure Retreat offers stunning views of Snowdonia and the surrounding countryside of North Wales. Nestled in the foothills of Snowdon with its own private lake, Brynteg offers majestic mountain ranges, stunning beaches, and charming countryside. Whether it’s exploring castles in Caernarfon, soaking up history in Llanberis, or relaxing on Anglesey’s miles of coastline, it’s easy to see why people escape here time after time. For those who enjoy a more leisurely pace of life, indulge in the on-park facilities including an indoor pool, gym, restaurant, and bar.
