Mr Corbyn was greeted with cheers in the pub.
He lamented the weather - before joking that in Carlisle, people are used to it - and then told the crowds that "a win on Thursday is an early Christmas present on Friday".
Also standing in the Carlisle ward are: Julia Aglionby (Liberal Democrats); Fiona Mills (Ukip); and John Stevenson (Carlisle).
