The Crimes Town Gallery in Stoke Newington has been operating since July 2007. The gallery is run by Gavin Toye and Ben Newton who are both artists. In May 2008 Toye and Newton staged, "Walpurgisnacht" at their gallery, a group show featuring artists such as Cathy Lomax, James Unsworth and Sarah Sparkes. Walpurgisnacht is traditionally the biggest Witches Sabbath of the year, the time when the forces of the supernatural meet with the mortal world.
