The event was a film-lover's dream, with items on sale including posters and banners for old and new classic films like The Golden Compass, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Prince Caspian and Sex and the City.
Visitors also had the chance to snap up themed T-shirts, baseball caps, and DVDs. It is the last time such an auction will be held as the cinema is closing on October 2. The Reel Cinema is an institution in Plymouth, and at 70 years old is the oldest in the city.
Located in the heart of the city, it boasts three screens, with the screen one auditorium seating 582 people.
It has also been a venue for birthday parties, themed evenings, children's parties and concerts, having famously hosted the Beatles in 1963 and 1964.
The charity auction was held in aid of Plymouth Sound Unite, the official charity of radio station Plymouth Sound. The charity has raised more than £1 million for local charities, community groups and organisations in the Plymouth area.
Beneficiaries include the neonatal intensive care unit at Derriford Hospital, the Elisabeth Svendsen Trust for children and donkeys, and Ridgeway School.
