Billboard Advertising in Newcastle: Prices, Locations, How to Book (2026)
Billboard advertising in Newcastle from £10 a day: 15 digital billboards from the Tyne Bridge to Gosforth High Street, self-service, live in minutes.
Booking a billboard in Newcastle used to mean finding the right sales email, asking for a rate card, and waiting for a reply that assumed you had an agency and a few grand to spend. The billboards were there. The front door wasn't.
That part is fixed. There are now 15 digital Newcastle billboards you can book yourself, from £10 a day, with no minimum spend and no contract. Pick a screen, upload your ad or type what you want it to say, pay, and it's in rotation the same day.
What billboard advertising costs in Newcastle
A single digital screen in Newcastle starts at £10 for a full day, VAT included. Busier city-centre screens cost more per day, and the price for each screen is shown before you pay. Most people spend around £25 on a post.
The traditional route still exists: a two-week roadside run booked through an agency, usually priced in the hundreds and sold in fixed cycles. If you have the budget and the lead time, it works. If you have £15 and a Tuesday you'd like to be famous on, it doesn't.

Where the billboards are
The Newcastle screens cover the city centre, the match-day crowds and the high street:
| Location | Where it is |
|---|---|
| Tyne Bridge | Two screens, one facing each direction of traffic |
| St James Boulevard | Grainger Town, on one of the busiest routes into the centre |
| Eldon Square and Eldon Garden | Screens at the Percy Street and Morden Street car parks |
| Dean Street car park | Low Bridge, between the Quayside and the centre |
| Gallowgate | Next to St James' Park, prime on match days |

| Gosforth High Street | Three screens at Gosforth Shopping Centre |
| Scotswood Road and Welbeck Road | Roadside screens west and east of the centre |

How to book one
- Open the Newcastle screens map and pick a screen.
- Upload your artwork, or type your message and let the built-in designer generate it.
- Choose your dates. One day is fine.
- Pay. Your ad goes through a quick content check and enters rotation.
No agency, no PDF spec sheet, no "our team will be in touch". The whole thing takes a few minutes on your phone.
Who uses them
Local businesses promoting an offer, tradespeople putting their name where their customers drive, and a steady stream of birthday messages, proposals and Newcastle United banter on the Gallowgate screen. A billboard used to be something only brands could buy. In Newcastle, it now costs less than a round at the Strawberry.
