The always-popular Ladies Night at Mitre 10 Mega Wanganui has raised $3723 for Hospice Whanganui.
Mitre 10 Mega Wanganui promotions co-ordinator Toni George said they were expecting about 400 people to attend Wednesday night's event but had more than 500 through the doors.
"We had about 40 different activities for people to try.
"There were lots of hands-on activities using powertools and people enjoyed the creative demonstrations. We had the fire brigade and Wanganui Rugby there. The competition for kicking a rugby ball was very popular."
Ladies Night is an annual event with funds raised going to Hospice Whanganui. Mitre 10 Mega Wanganui matched the door takings dollar for dollar.
