Each format has its own specs, lead time and booking rules. Prices are the cheapest live listing in that format.
London, Manchester and Birmingham carry 2,141 of the 6,240 spaces listed in the UK.
Shapes below are drawn to each surface's real proportions.
Everything buyers ask before their first booking here.
Prices start at £180 per week for a digital screen slot and run into five figures for a premium wallscape or a full bus fleet. The median billboard booking is £1,580 per week. Every figure is set by the owner of the space, and the listed price is what you pay.
Digital screens and radio can go live inside 48 hours if the file meets spec. Paper and vinyl need five to ten working days for print and posting. Hand-painted sites and fleet wraps need three weeks or more, because a crew and a depot slot have to be held.
The owner holds the planning consent and the operating licence for the space, so you are booking time on a site that is already consented. Creative still clears the owner's content rules — most sites exclude alcohol, gambling and HFSS categories, and some exclude competitors of an anchor tenant.
Payment is held until dated, GPS-tagged proof photography is approved. If the site goes up late, or does not go up at all, the money is returned to you instead of released to the owner.
Yes. Spaces in London, Manchester and Birmingham go into one order, are invoiced together, and each site returns its own proof set.
Admarket lists 6,240 advertising spaces across the United Kingdom, from 48-sheet roadside panels on the A40 to ten-second slots on shopping-centre screens in Manchester. Every space is posted by the company that owns or manages it, so the price on the listing is the price the owner set, and payment is held until your dated proof photography is approved.
The UK market splits cleanly. Roadside billboards and transit carry the volume — 2,140 boards and 864 vehicle and station formats — while digital screens carry the flexibility, with 1,685 screens that can take a file 48 hours before it plays. London prices sit about a third above the national median; Manchester and Birmingham run below it for audience figures that are often within 20% of each other.
Lead time, not budget, is usually what decides a campaign here. Paper billboards are posted on a Monday cycle and want artwork five working days ahead. Bus fleets are wrapped overnight at the depot and want ten. Hand-painted wallscapes need a crew booked three weeks out. Digital screens and radio are the only formats that reliably go live inside a week.
Whatever the format, the sequence is the same. You book the dates, the money sits with Admarket, the owner posts the site and uploads dated proof photography, and the payment is released once you approve it. If the proof does not match what you booked, you raise it before anything moves. Buyers pay the price on the listing — £180 per week at the bottom of the market, £1,580 per week for a median billboard site.
2,140 of the 6,240 spaces listed in the UK are billboards, which makes it the format with the most choice and usually the most competitive pricing. Volume is not the same as fit, but it is where a first campaign has the most room to be wrong and still recover.
The lowest entry price in the UK is £180 per week, on digital screens. A small budget goes further tested in one format across several weeks than spread thinly across four in one.
The honest way to compare formats is by what a campaign needs to do. Physical outdoor builds recognition over weeks in a fixed catchment. Digital screens and radio go live fastest and suit dated offers. Print and cinema reach a defined readership or audience rather than passing traffic. Creators trade in deliverables rather than time. The format pages linked above set out the specification and the real lead time for each.
Every space is listed by its owner or operator, with the price they set. There is no agency margin and no fee added to the buyer at checkout — commission is charged to the seller, so the listed price is the price paid.
Payment is held until the owner evidences delivery and you approve it. Proof is whatever the format can actually prove: dated, located photography for physical sites, play-out reports for screens, transmission logs for broadcast, delivery reports for web placements.
Listings are reviewed before publication, owners are verified before they can take a booking, and every conversation runs through the platform so that a dispute has a record to be decided on. A deal moved off Admarket carries none of that.
