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.

Blackpool: New Peter Rabbit Attraction on the Promenade

New Peter Rabbit™ Attraction at Blackpool!


Hop into the over-sized world of Peter and his friends.


Hop along to the New Peter Rabbit™ Attraction at Blackpool!

Beloved characters from the award-winning PETER RABBIT™ animated TV series arrived at a new home on Blackpool’s famous seafront. It’s a partnership that marks the first stand-alone Merlin visitor attraction to be based on the series. And it’s a first for Blackpool! A brand-new concept and the first time Merlin has created a stand-alone attraction based on the series.

The new Peter Rabbit attraction at Blackpool is open next door to the famous Madame Tussauds Blackpool. It joins Merlin’s six other attractions including The Blackpool Tower and SEA LIFE Blackpool.

Embark on an adventure across five fluffy-tailed themed zones. You’ll need to think like a rabbit, move like a rabbit and deploy rabbit-like senses! There’s a whole burrow-full of creativity to enjoy. Complete the challenges and earn badges. See if you have the skills to join the secret treehouse club! You’ll also meet, greet and ‘high-paw’ with Peter himself – in a bumper bunny day out!
