From the same article...
'An effigy of Pope Paul V (d1621) is burnt by Cliffe Society and all the while torches and barrels burn and “rookies”, powerful agricultural bird scarers, are detonated in packed streets as rum, mead and the local Harvey’s ale flows. Eighty people were injured last year.'

It sounds delightful... :/
I'll stick to sparklers in the back garden with the kiddies.
