Seabrook Open 2026 set for WCA-listed gym venue in community center

Seabrook Open 2026 is set for Oct. 3-4, 2026 at Seabrook Community Center, in the Gym, giving New Hampshire cubers an official WCA competition in a venue that looks built for a clean local meet. The World Cube Association listing puts the event squarely on the calendar, which matters because that is the signal speedcubers use to plan travel, lock in event entries, and know the results will count toward rankings and personal bests.

The location adds to the appeal. Seabrook Recreation Department lists Seabrook Community Center at 311 Lafayette Rd., Seabrook, NH, and its 2025 holiday mini-session guide gives the building hours as Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. when there is no special event, with Saturday and Sunday hours varying. For competitors, parents, and delegates, that points to a public, accessible community-facility setup rather than a hard-to-find private room or a temporary venue with complicated logistics.

That gym setting also comes with precedent. New Hampshire Championship 2025 was listed at Seabrook Community Center Gymnasium, showing that the site has already handled an official speedcubing event under WCA rules. In practice, that kind of venue usually means enough space for solving stations, scrambling tables, and the waiting area that keeps an open running smoothly, especially for newer cubers who are still learning how to move through a competition day.

The broader fall 2026 calendar makes Seabrook Open look like part of a busy regional run rather than a one-off. The WCA competitions search also places New England Championship 2026 on Oct. 16-18, 2026, keeping another major meet close on the heels of Seabrook. For local competitors, the combination of an official listing, a community-center gym, and a known address at 311 Lafayette Rd. makes the decision easier: this is the kind of meet where you can quickly tell whether to compete, volunteer, or bring family to watch.
