Reach people deciding where to go in Newcastle

Newcastle Spots lists venues across Newcastle with the filters people use when deciding where to go. Sponsored placements sit beside those results, clearly labelled and outside the editorial ranking. We share the traffic figures we actually have on request rather than quoting audience claims we can't evidence.

Post-industrial city

A market that changed fast

Newcastle's dining scene rebuilt itself in about a decade. Plenty of guides still describe the old city, which leaves genuinely good newer venues under-represented and easy to reach.

Coast and harbour

Two audiences, one city

Beach-side trade and harbour trade behave differently — different hours, different crowds. We keep them separate rather than averaging them into one Newcastle listing.

Regional pull

Bigger catchment than the population

The Hunter and Lake Macquarie both look to Newcastle for a night out. The reachable audience is larger than the city's own numbers suggest.

Ways to work together

Advertising & partnership options

Prices and availability below are current; “Coming soon” means not yet available to buy, and “On request” means we will confirm what we can actually deliver before quoting. Everything is clearly labelled, and paid placement never changes your Spot Score — we never sell our editorial independence.
