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.

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.
