The Easingwold Advertiser & Weekly News is a family-owned paper for Easingwold and the surrounding area

About us

The Easingwold Advertiser & Weekly News is a family-owned newspaper for Easingwold and the surrounding area. We have provided the communities of Easingwold and local villages with topical news and features since 1892. The team have no intention of stopping now and are honoured to carry on the great work that started 130 years ago.

The Easingwold Advertiser & Weekly News does not print political editorial. However, the paper will occasionally feature information around issues that transcend party politics, such as European news and farming.

Instead, the paper is full of local news from Easingwold and local villages. Our pages feature stories from the world of sport, WIs, societies, schools, festivals and events. If it involves the wonderful communities of Easingwold and district, The Easingwold Advertiser wants to know. Check out our news archives and see what you’ve been missing.

We are based in Easingwold Town Hall in the centre of Easingwold’s Georgian Market Place. It’s a beautiful building, built in 1864 by private subscription. The space was purchased by George Smith in the late 1950s to accommodate the printing business of GH Smith & Son and The Easingwold Advertiser & Weekly News.

Print production for GH Smith & Son and The Easingwold Advertiser & Weekly News began in Easingwold Town Hall in 1959. Our original base was behind Bank House (through the ginnel) just off Easingwold Market Place.

The Easingwold Advertiser & Weekly News was originally printed on a gas-powered (eventually moving onto electric) letterpress machines. We updated to offset Lithography in the early 1970s, keeping up to date with the technology for the time. Now, the local newspaper is printed on digital print presses.

Advertising is as varied as the people and businesses living and working in Easingwold and surrounding villages. Our newspaper advertising accepts all kinds of content, from local events and offers through to national products and services. The 30p cover price ensures maximum impact for all Easingwold & District advertisers. Our circulation figures are not projected, but based on total sales per issue, giving advertisers maximum coverage.

The Easingwold Advertiser & Weekly News has been providing local news and advertising since January 1892. Our local newspaper is now an essential part of the fabric of Easingwold and district, making it a fantastic place to promote your business.
