Yikes!

A heavy object landed on my Galaxy S7.
Fortunately it’s just a toy for the kids these days, but it’s still a good phone and I would hate to see it being broken forever.
However, how much will it cost to fix?
Do I ‘just’ need a new LCD screen and touch screen digitiser? Although phone turns on, the screen doesn’t respond.

S7 screens are expensive, relative to replacement value - all Samsung screens are. Lowest cost for a replacement screen would be from AliExpress or similar, expect to pay $60-70 for the screen plus delivery. Then there's a cost for fitting it too. Very quickly you're up over $150 & heading toward $200 to fix this old Samsung. Surely a replacement S7 from Trademe wouldn't cost any more than $200? I'd certainly be having second thoughts about the return on investment there.

Really, it's over for your S7, bye bye, thanks for your service, it was lovely knowing you.

No, but it would make a perfect stew.
