The 13-year-old has developed serious solving speed after receiving a cube for Christmas two years ago. In July 2019 his personal best was 10.66 seconds.
Events include two by two, three by three and blindfold cube competitions.
All 80 tickets to the competition have sold, with cubers coming from as far afield as New Zealand and Hong Kong.
Brian's mum Judy Allen is even hoping to find a bigger venue for the city's next event, to encourage local cubers.
World Cubing Association competition, February 23, St Killian's school hall, 8.50am-6.10pm.
